Driving your vehicle

• If your car is equipped with an auto-

matic transaxle, don't let your car

creep forward. To avoid creeping for-

ward, keep your foot firmly on the

brake pedal when the car is stopped.

• Use caution when parking on a hill.

Firmly engage the parking brake and

place the gear selector lever in P

(Park). If your car is facing downhill,

turn the front wheels into the curb to

help keep the car from rolling. If your

car is facing uphill, turn the front

wheels away from the curb to help

keep the car from rolling. If there is no

curb or if it is required by other condi-

tions to keep the car from rolling, block

the wheels.

• Under some conditions your parking

brake can freeze in the engaged posi-

tion.This is most likely to happen when

there is an accumulation of snow or ice

around or near the rear brakes or if the

brakes are wet.If there is a risk that the

parking brake may freeze, apply it only

temporarily while you put the gear

selector lever in P (Park) (automatic

transaxle) and block the rear wheels so

the car cannot roll. Then release the

parking brake.

• Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade

with the accelerator pedal. This can

cause the transaxle to overheat.

Always use the brake pedal or parking

brake.
