Braking
When slowing down or stopping, take your
foot off the accelerator pedal and press the
brake pedal smoothly. Abrupt or improper
use of the brakes can cause the tires to lose
traction, reducing control of the vehicle and
increasing the possibility of an accident.
Braking ability is affected by type of terrain. In
most cases, gradual application of the brakes
is more effective than abrupt braking, partic-
ularly on loose surfaces, such as gravel. Al-
ways allow for greater braking distance on
rough, loose, or slippery surfaces.
Engine compression braking will also help
slow the vehicle down. With the transmission
still in gear, take your foot off the accelerator
and allow the drivetrain and engine to absorb
vehicle speed. Downshift as necessary. Ap-
plication of the brakes provides additional
stopping power. Leaving the vehicle
Do not get out of the vehicle while the engine
is running. Take the key with when you leave
the vehicle. There is a serious risk of injury or
death because:

Children or other unauthorized persons
may attempt to operate the vehicle.
 Objects tossed into the vehicle may strike
the shift lever and accidently engage the
transmission.
 The parking brake may not keep the vehicle
from moving.
Parking on a flat area
Even when parking on a seemingly flat area, it
is good practice to leave the transmission in
gear to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
Therefore, shift into first or reverse gear, stop
the engine and always apply the parking
brake.UBAS7AE0.book Page 15 Wednesday, June 19, 2019 11:51 AM

CLEANING AND STORAGE
EBU35920CleaningFrequent, thorough cleaning of your vehicle
will not only enhance its appearance but will
improve its general performance and extend
the useful life of many components.1. Before cleaning the vehicle: a. Block off the end of the exhaust pipeto prevent water entry. A plastic bag
and strong rubber band may be used.
b. Make sure the spark plugs and all filler caps are properly installed.
2. If the engine case is excessively greasy, apply degreaser with a paint brush. Do
not apply degreaser to the wheel axles.
3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a garden hose. Use only enough pressure
to do the job. WARNING! Test the
brakes after washing. Apply the
brakes several times at slow speeds to
let friction dry the brakes. Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability, in-
creasing the chance of an accident.
[EWB03471]

NOTICE: Excessive water pres-
sure may cause water seepage and
deterioration of wheel bearings,
brakes, transmission seals and electri-
cal devices. Many expensive repair
bills have resulted from improper high-
pressure detergent applications such
as those available in coin-operated car
washers.
[ECB00712]
4. Once the majority of the dirt has been hosed off, wash all surfaces with warm
water and mild, detergent-type soap. An
old toothbrush or bottle brush is handy
for hard-to-get-at places.
5. Rinse the vehicle off immediately with
clean water and dry all surfaces with a
clean chamois towel or soft, absorbent
cloth.
6. Clean the seats with a vinyl upholstery cleaner to keep the covers pliable and
glossy.
