CAUTION

Ø

Do not drive with your foot held
on the clutch pedal or brake pedal,
or hold the clutch pedal depressed
halfway unnecessarily. Doing so
could result in the following:

Ø

The clutch and brake parts will
wear out more quickly.

Ø

The brakes can overheat and
adversely affect brake
performance.

Ø

Always depress the brake pedal
with the right foot. Applying the
brakes with the unaccustomed left
foot could slow your reaction time
to an emergency situation
resulting in insufficient braking
operation.

Ø

Wear shoes appropriate for driving
in order to avoid your shoe
contacting the brake pedal when
depressing the accelerator pedal.

Parking Brake

WARNING

Before leaving the driver's seat, always
turn the key to the OFF/LOCK position,
set the parking brake and make sure
the shift lever is in P with an automatic
transaxle or in 1 or R with a manual
transaxle:

It is important to turn the key to the
OFF/LOCK position even if you are
not removing the key from the
ignition or leaving the vehicle.
Leaving the key in other positions
will disable some of the vehicle
security systems and run the battery
down.
Leaving the driver's seat without
switching the ignition to the OFF/
LOCK position, setting the parking
brake and shifting the shift lever to P
with an automatic transaxle, or to 1
or R with a manual transaxle is
dangerous. Unexpected vehicle
movement could occur. This could
cause an accident.

CAUTION

Driving with the parking brake on
will cause excessive wear of the brake
linings or pads.

NOTE

For parking in snow, refer to Winter Driving
(page 4-8) regarding parking brake use.
