Driving your vehicle
36 5
• Don't coast down hills with the car
out of gear. This is extremely haz-
ardous. Keep the car in gear at all
times, use the brakes to slow
down, then shift to a lower gear so
that engine braking will help you
maintain a safe speed.
• Don't "ride" the brake pedal.
Resting your foot on the brake
pedal while driving can be danger-
ous because it can result in the
brakes overheating and losing their
effectiveness. It also increases the
wear of the brake components.
• If a tire goes flat while you are driv-
ing, apply the brakes gently and
keep the car pointed straight
ahead while you slow down. When
you are moving slowly enough for it
to be safe to do so, pull off the road
and stop in a safe place.
• If your car is equipped with an
automatic transmission, don't let
your car creep forward. To avoid
creeping forward, keep your foot
firmly on the brake pedal when the
car is stopped.
• Use caution when parking on a hill.
Firmly engage the parking brake
and place the shift lever in P. If your
car is facing downhill, turn the front
wheels into the curb to help keep
the car from rolling. If your car is
facing uphill, turn the front wheels
away from the curb to help keep
the car from rolling. If there is no
curb or if it is required by other con-
ditions to keep the car from rolling,
block the wheels.
• Under some conditions your park-
ing brake can freeze in the
engaged position. This is most like-
ly to happen when there is an
accumulation of snow or ice
around or near the rear brakes or if
the brakes are wet. If there is a risk
that the parking brake may freeze,
apply it only temporarily while you
put the shift lever in P (automatic
transmission) and block the rear
wheels so the car cannot roll. Then
release the parking brake.
• Do not hold the vehicle on the
upgrade with the accelerator
pedal. This can cause the trans-
mission to overheat. Always use
the brake pedal or parking brake.
