•

Don't coast down hills with the

vehicle out of gear. This is extreme-

gear so that engine braking will

help you maintain a safe speed.

Driving your vehicle

•

Under some conditions, your park-

ing brake can freeze in the

engaged position. This is most like-

ly 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

Do not hold the vehicle on an

incline with the accelerator pedal.

This can cause the transmission to

overheat. Always use the brake
