Good driving practices
• Never move the gear shift lever
from P (Park) or N (Neutral) to any
other position with the accelerator
pedal depressed.
• Never move the gear shift lever into
P (Park) when the vehicle is in
motion.
• Be sure the car is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
• 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.
• Do not "ride" the brakes. This can
cause them to overheat and mal-
function. Instead, when you are
driving down a long hill, slow down,
shift into Sports Mode and shift to
a lower gear. When you do this,
engine braking will help slow the
car.
• Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear in sports mode. Otherwise, the
lower gear may not be engaged.

WARNING
Always fully depress the brake
pedal before and while shifting
out of the P (Park) position into
another position to avoid inad-
vertent motion of the vehicle
which could injure persons in
or around the car.
