•

Always set the parking brake. Do

not depend on the shift gear in P

(Park) to prevent the vehicle from

moving.

•

Exercise extreme caution when

driving on a slippery surface. Be

careful especially when braking,

accelerating or shifting gears. On a

slippery surface, an abrupt change

in vehicle speed may cause the

drive wheels to lose traction and

the vehicle to go out of control.

•

Optimum vehicle performance and

fuel economy are obtained by

smoothly depressing and releasing

WARNING

- Brakes

• Do not put your foot on the

brake pedal while driving. This

may abnormally increase the

brake temperatures, wear

down the brake lining/pad,

and increase the braking dis-

tances.

• When driving down on a long

or steep slope, shift to a lower

gear and avoid depressing the

brakes in a continuous man-

ner. Depressing brakes in a

continuous manner may over-

heat the brakes, resulting in a

temporary loss of braking per-
