Driving off
Warning! G
It is dangerous to shift the gear selector le-
ver out of P or N if the engine speed is
higher than idle speed. If your foot is not
firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle
could accelerate quickly forward or in re-
verse. You could lose control of the vehicle
and hit someone or something. Only shift
into gear when the engine is idling nor-
mally and when your right foot is firmly on
the brake pedal.
Warning! G
On slippery road surfaces, never downshift
in order to obtain braking action. This
could result in drive wheel slip and re-
duced vehicle control. Your vehicle’s ABS
will not prevent this type of loss of control.
