Good driving practices
Never move the gear shift lever
from P (Park) to any other position
with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
Never move the gear shift lever into
P (Park) when the vehicle is in
motion.
Slow down before shifting to a
lower gear. Otherwise, the lower
gear may not be engaged.

not depend on placing the shift
lever in P (Park) to keep the vehicle
from moving.

economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the
accelerator pedal.

standing start, depress the brake
pedal, shift the shift lever to D
(Drive). Select the appropriate gear
depending on load weight and steep-
ness of the grade, and release the
parking brake.Depress the accelera-
tor gradually while releasing the
service brakes.
