Starting and driving

•

Never coast downhill with the gearshift lever in

neutral (manual transmission vehicles) or the

range selector lever in the “N” position (auto-

matic transmission vehicles). Doing so makes

both engine braking and exhaust brake inopera-

tive, which in turn excessively burdens the ser-

vice brakes. This also causes the brakes to

overheat and the brake linings to wear out pre-

maturely.

In an automatic transmission vehicle, this can

also cause damage to the transmission.

•

Avoid overusing the service brakes as the

resultant overheating could cause undesirable

vapor lock and fading, both of which contribute

to poor braking.

NOTE:

•

“Vapor lock” refers to the condition in which the

brake system overheats, causing the brake fluid

to boil and form bubbles that weaken hydraulic

pressure, resulting in poor braking.

•

“Fading” refers to the condition in which the

brake linings or brake pads overheat to the point

where friction is significantly reduced. This also

results in poor braking.

•

First decelerate the engine sufficiently before

downshifting.

Downshifting more than two gears at a time or

downshifting at a high engine speed could

cause the engine to overrev.

Decelerate, as a rule, to roughly 2,000 rpm

before downshifting, and pay attention not to let

the needle enter the red zone during driving.

In an automatic transmission vehicle, shifting

down will be prohibited by a safety device if the

vehicle is driving fast. In such cases, depress

the brake pedal and reduce the vehicle speed.

NOTE:

“Overrev” refers to an operating state of the engine

in which it rotates at an RPM higher than the recom-

mended maximum RPM. Overrevving the engine

could lead to an engine failure.

WARNING

Except in an emergency, never apply the

parking brake while the vehicle is moving

since the vehicle could spin and/or overturn.
