DRIVING TIPS
77PH0-74E
While moving uphill/gradient from a
stand still condition
• Apply the parking brake firmly so that the
vehicle does not roll backwards.
• Depress the Clutch pedal and Shift the
gearshift lever to 1
st Select position.
• Do not slip the clutch.
• When ready to start, press accelerator
pedal and slowly release the clutch
pedal simultaneously. When the vehicle
starts to move, gradually release the
parking brake.
Driving on Slippery Roads
82DY06
Under wet road conditions you should
drive at a lower speed than on dry roads
due to possible slippage of tyres during
braking. When driving on icy, snow-cov-
ered, or muddy roads, reduce your speed
and avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt
braking, or sharp steering movements.
If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck
If your vehicle gets stuck in snow, mud, or
sand, follow the directions below:
1) Shift the transmission back and forth
between first gear and reverse. This will
create a rocking motion which may give
you enough momentum to free the
vehicle. Press gently on the accelerator
to keep wheel spinning to a minimum
wheel rpm. Remove your foot from the
accelerator while shifting.
Do not race the engine. Excessive
wheel spin will cause the tyres to dig
deeper, making it more difficult to free
the vehicle.
2) If your vehicle remains stuck after a few
minutes of rocking, get another vehicle
to pull your vehicle out.
NOTICE
When descending down a hill,
NEVER turn the ignition key to the
“LOCK” position. Emission control
system damage may result.
EXAMPLE
WARNING
Do not allow anyone to stand near
the vehicle when you are rocking it,
and do not spin the wheels faster
than an indicated 40 km/h on the
speedometer. Personal injury and/or
vehicle damage may result from spin-
ning the wheels too fast.
NOTICE
Do not continue rocking the vehicle
for more than a few minutes. Pro-
longed rocking can cause engine
overheating or transmission damage.
