Good driving practices
Good driving habits reduce the risk of
accidents and help maintain vehicle per

formance.
僅 Never shift from P (Park) or N (Neu
-
tral) to any other position with the
accelerator pedal depressed.
僅 Never shift from 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).
僅 Do not shift to N (Neutral) when driv
-
ing. Doing so may result in an acci
-
dent.
僅Do not drive with your foot resting on
the brake pedal. Even light, but con
-
sistent pedal pressure can result in
the brakes overheating, brake wear
and possibly even brake failure.
僅 Always apply the parking brake when
leaving the vehicle. Do not depend on
placing the gear in P (Park) to keep
the vehicle from moving.
僅 Exercise extreme caution when driv
-
ing on a slippery surface. Be espe
-
cially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change in
vehicle speed can cause the drive
wheels to lose traction and may cause
loss of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
