1. Distance/Strength
*
[AS35500(ALL)02/95]
The strength of the FM signal is directly related
to the distance the signal must travel. The
listenable range of an average FM signal is
approximately 25 miles (40 kilometers). Beyond
this distance, the radio is operating in a fringe
area and the signal becomes weaker.

Driving
[DR03200(ALL)05/93]
When to use Overdrive (D with Overdrive
activated)
[DR03300(ALL)01/94]
Overdrive is the usual driving position for an
automatic overdrive transaxle. It works the same
way Drive (Overdrive OFF) works, automatically
upshifting or downshifting as the vehicle speeds
or slows.
[DR03400(ALL)01/94]
However, Overdrive also shifts into a fourth
gear Ð an overdrive gear Ð when your vehicle
cruises at a consistent speed for any length of
time. This fourth gear will increase your fuel
economy when you travel at cruising speeds.
[DR03500(ALL)05/95]
Overdrive may not be appropriate for certain
terrain. If the transaxle shifts back and forth
between third and fourth gears while you are
driving on hilly roads, select Drive (Overdrive
OFF) by cancelling Overdrive as outlined below.

[DR04315(ALL)01/92]
In the Reverse (R) position, the vehicle moves
only backward. Your vehicle must be stopped
before shifting into Reverse (R).
[DR04330(ALL)11/91]
Neutral
[DR04360(ALL)01/92]
In Neutral (N), the wheels of the transaxle are
not locked. Your vehicle will roll freely, even on
the slightest incline, unless the parking brake or
brakes are on.
*
[DR04500(ALL)06/92]
Parking
[DR04600(ALL)03/94]
Always come to a complete stop before you shift
into P (Park). Make sure that the shift selector
lever is securely latched in P (Park). This locks
the transaxle and prevents the front wheels from
rotating.
*
[DR04700(ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Always set the parking brake fully and
make sure that the gearshift is securely
latched in P (Park).
*
[DR04800(ALL)06/95]
RWARNING
Never leave your vehicle unattended
while it is running.
*
[DR05000(ALL)02/91]

when the thumb button has popped out. In this
position the gearshift selector lever cannot be
moved unless the button is pushed in.

1. Bring your vehicle to acompletestop.
*
[DR06500(ALL)03/90]
2. Push the clutch pedal in all the way to the
floor and hold it. If you do not hold the
clutch pedal in all the way, you may hear a
grinding noise when you shift.
*
[DR06600(ALL)08/94]
3. Put the gearshift in Neutral and wait at least
3 seconds before shifting into R (Reverse) to
prevent a grinding noise. Do not release the
clutch.
*
[DR06700(ALL)02/92]
4. Then push the gearshift all the way to the
right and pull it down into R (Reverse).
*
[DR06800(ALL)03/95]
When in 5 (Fifth) gear, you can engage R
(Reverse) only by moving the gearshift to
Neutral before you shift into R (Reverse).
This is a special lockout feature that protects
you from accidentally shifting into R
(Reverse) when you downshift from 5 (Fifth)
gear.
*
[DR06900(ALL)02/92]
5. Once R (Reverse) is engaged, slowly release
the clutch pedal from the floor.
*
[DR07000(ALL)03/94]

the clutch pedal in while you put the gearshift
back into Neutral. Then, release the clutch pedal
for a moment and repeat steps 2 through 5.

Steering Your Vehicle
[DR09200(ALL)01/94]
Your vehicle is equipped with power steering.
Power steering uses energy from the engine to
help steer your vehicle.
%*
[DR09250(ALL)04/95]
If the amount of effort needed to steer your
vehicle changes at a constant vehicle speed, have
the power steering system checked. If the power
steering system breaks down (or if the engine is
turned off), you can steer the vehicle manually
but it takes more effort.
*
[DR09300(ALL)01/95]
Never hold the steering wheel to the extreme
right or left for more than five seconds if the
engine is running. This can damage the power
steering pump.

Applying the Brakes

[DR09700(ALL)05/95]
Your vehicle may have four-wheel power
anti-lock disc brakes which adjust automatically
through everyday use.
*
[DR09750(ALL)05/95]
Some models have power front disc brakes and
rear drum brakes which automatically adjust as
the brake pads and linings wear down.

*
[DR10100(ALL)05/95]
If your vehicle does not have anti-lock brakes,
apply the brake pedal gradually. Use the
ªsqueezeº technique Ð push on the brake pedal
with a steadily increasing force. This allows the
wheels to continue to roll while you are slowing
down, which lets you steer properly.
*
[DR10200(ALL)05/95]
If your vehicle does not have anti-lock brakes,
extreme braking can make the wheels lock and
slide, causing you to lose control of the steering.
If the wheels lock, release the brake pedal and
repeat the ªsqueezeº technique.
*
[DR10300(ALL)05/95]
Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake
pedal; you will wear out the linings and increase
your vehicle's stopping distance. Brake rotor
damage may also eventually occur.
*
[DR10400(ALL)05/95]
NOTE: If you are driving down a long or
steep hill, shift to a lower gear and do
not apply your brakes continuously. If
you apply your brakes continuously,
they may overheat and become less
effective.
*
[DR10500(ALL)03/95]
Occasional brake squeal during light to moderate
stops does not affect the function of the brake
system and is normal. However, if the squeal
becomes louder or more frequent, have your
brakes inspected by your dealer or a qualified
service technician.
[DR10510(ALL)05/95]
Anti-lock Brake System (If equipped)
*
[DR10520(ALL)05/95]
If your vehicle is equipped with the anti-lock
brake system (ABS), the wheels will not lock and
slide when you press down hard on the brake
pedal. The ABS automatically starts releasing
and reapplying the front brakes independently
and the rear brakes together whenever your
vehicle's wheels start to lock. When this
happens, you will feel the brake pedal pulsate.
This is an indication that the ABS is working
correctly and is normal.
