• Be sure the vehicle is completelystopped before you attempt to shift
into reverse. The transaxle can be damaged if you do not.
• Exercise extreme caution when driv‐ ing on a slippery surface. Be especial‐
ly careful when braking, accelerating
or shifting gears. On a slippery sur‐
face, an abrupt change in vehicle speed can cause the drive wheels to
lose traction and the vehicle to go out
of control.
WARNING
•Always buckle-up! In a collision, anunbelted occupant is significantlymore likely to be seriously injuredor killed than a properly belted oc‐cupant.
•Avoid high speeds when corneringor turning.
•Do not make quick steering wheelmovements, such as sharp lanechanges or fast, sharp turns.
•The risk of rollover is greatly in‐creased if you lose control of yourvehicle at highway speeds.
(Continued)
(Continued)
•Loss of control often occurs if twoor more wheels drop off the road‐way and the driver oversteers toreenter the roadway.
•In the event your vehicle leavesthe roadway, do not steer sharply.Instead, slow down before pullingback into the travel lanes.

2. Move the shift lever.
If the brake pedal is repeatedly de‐
pressed and released with the shift lev‐ er in the P (Park) position, a chattering
noise near the shift lever may be heard.
This is a normal condition.
WARNING
Always fully depress the brake pedalbefore and while shifting out of theP (Park) position into another posi‐tion to avoid inadvertent motion ofthe vehicle which could injure per‐sons in or around the car.
Good driving practices
• Never move the shift lever from P (Park) or N (Neutral) to any other po‐
sition with the accelerator pedal de‐ pressed.
• Never move the 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 ex‐tremely hazardous. Always leave the
car in gear when moving.
• Do not "ride" the brakes. This can cause them to overheat and malfunc‐
tion. 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.
• Slow down before shifting to a lower gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may
not be engaged.
• Always use the parking brake. Do not depend on placing the transaxle in P
(Park) to keep the car from moving.
• Exercise extreme caution when driv‐ ing on a slippery surface. Be especial‐
ly careful when braking, accelerating
or shifting gears. On a slippery sur‐ face, an abrupt change in vehicle
speed can cause the drive wheels to
lose traction and the vehicle to go out
of control.
• Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothly de‐
pressing and releasing the accelera‐
tor pedal.
