tremely hazardous. Always leave the
car in þear when movinþ.
• Do not "ride" the brakes. This can
cause them to overheat and malýunc‐
tion. Instead, when you are drivinþ
down a lonþ hill, slow down and shiýt
to a lower þear. When you do this,
enþine brakinþ will help slow the car.
• Slow down beýore shiýtinþ to a lower
þear. ætherwise, the lower þear may
not be enþaþed.

depend on placinþ the transaxle in ç

inþ on a slippery surýace. Be especial‐
ly careýul when brakinþ, acceleratinþ
