The clutch should be pressed all the way to the
floor before shifting, then released slowly. The
clutch pedal should be always used after fully
returning to the original position. Do not rest
your foot on the clutch pedal while driving. This
can cause unnecessary wear. Do not partially
engage the clutch to hold the car on an incline.
This causes unnecessary wear. Use the park-
ing brake to hold the car on an incline. Do not
operate the clutch pedal rapidly and repeatedly.
o Slow down when you encounter cross winds.
This gives you much better control of your
car.
o Be sure the car is completely stopped be-
fore you attempt to shift into reverse. The
transaxle can be damaged if you do not. To
shift into reverse, depress the clutch (manual
transaxle), move the shift lever to neutral,
wait three seconds, then shift to the reverse
position.
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 ve-
hicle speed can cause the drive wheels to
lose traction and the vehicle to go out of
control.

o Never take the car out of gear and coast
down a hill. This is extremely hazardous.
Always leave the car in gear.
o Don't "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.
This will help avoid over-revving the engine,
which can cause damage.
