o Never move the gear selector lever from “P”
or “N” to any other position with the acceler-
ator pedal depressed.
o Never move the gear selector lever into “P”
when the vehicle is in motion.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped before
you attempt to shift into “R”.
o Never take the car out of gear and coast down
a hill. This may be extremely hazardous.
Always leave the car in gear when moving.
o Do not “ride” the brakes. This can cause them
to overheat and malfunction. Instead, when
you are driving down a long hill, slow down
and shift to a lower gear. When you do this,
engine braking will help slow the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower gear.
Otherwise, the lower gear may not be en-
gaged.
o Always use the parking brake. Do not depend
on placing the transaxle in “P” to keep the car
from moving.
o Exercise extreme caution when driving on a
slippery surface. Be especially careful when
braking, accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change in vehicle
speed can cause the drive wheels to lose
traction and the vehicle to go out of control.

Use for driving up a very steep grade or for
engine braking when descending steep hills.
When downshifting to "L", the transaxle will tem-
porarily remain in second gear until the vehicle
has slowed enough for low gear to engage. Do
not exceed 31 mph (50 km/h) in low gear.
