Good Driving Practices
ś Never shift the gear from P (Park) or 
N (Neutral) to any other position with 
the accelerator pedal depressed.
ś Never shift the gear into P (Park) when 
the vehicle is in motion.
Be sure the vehicle is completely 
stopped before you attempt to shift 
into R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
ś Do not shift the gear to N (Neutral) 
when driving. If the gear is shifted to 
N (Neutral) while driving, the vehicle 
loses the ability to provide engine 
braking. Doing so may increase the 
risk of an accident.
Also, shifting the gear back to 
D (Drive) while the vehicle is 
moving may severely damage the 
transmission.
ś Driving uphill or downhill, always shift 
to D (Drive) when driving forward or to 
R (Reverse) when driving backwards, 
and check the gear position indicated 
on the cluster before driving. If 
the vehicle moves in the opposite 
direction of the selected gear, the 
engine may turn off and a serious 
accident may occur due to the 
degraded brake performance.
ś Do not drive with your foot resting 
on the brake pedal. Even light, but 
consistent pedal pressure can result 
in the brakes overheating, brake wear 
and possibly even brake failure.
