Procedures for driving your vehicle will vary depending on
which type of transaxle your vehicle has. You may be familiar
with the term “transmission.” We use transaxle because it is a
more accurate term for vehicles that have front-wheel drive.
*
[GF00300(ALL)12/95]
Your vehicle will have one of the following types of transaxles:
[GF00400(ALL)12/95]
■ an automatic overdrive transaxle with transaxle control
switch, or
*
[GF00500(ALL)12/95]
■ a manual transaxle.
*
[GF00600(ALL)12/95]
If you are not sure which transaxle your vehicle has, talk to
your dealer.
*
[GF00700(ALL)03/96]
Your vehicle is equipped with an Electronic Powertrain Control
Module that limits engine and/or vehicle speeds with a cut-out
mode to promote durability.

Applying the Brakes
[GF01000(ALL)12/95]
Your vehicle may have four-wheel power anti-lock disc brakes
or power front disc and rear drum anti-lock brakes which adjust
automatically through everyday use.
[GF01100(ALL)12/95]
If your vehicle does not have anti-lock brakes, it may have
four-wheel power disc brakes or power front disc brakes and
rear drum brakes, which adjust automatically as the brake pads
or linings wear down.
*
[GF01200(ALL)01/96]
If your vehicle does not have anti-lock brakes, apply the brake
pedal gradually. Use the “squeeze” technique — push on the
brake pedal with a steadily increasing force. This allows the
wheels to continue to roll while you are slowing down, which
lets you steer properly.
*
[GF01300(ALL)01/96]
If your vehicle does not have anti-lock brakes, extreme braking
can make the wheels lock and slide, causing you to lose control
of the steering. If the wheels lock, release the brake pedal and
repeat the “squeeze” technique.
