ż
When the throttle pedal is released completely and
the engine speed drops near an idle, the vehicle

hicle’s automatic transmission which releases the
engine at very low speed to prevent it from stalling.
Employ the brakes to control the vehicle’s speed.
Release the throttle pedal completely.
Press on the brake pedal evenly and firmly.
WARNING

crease braking distances.
Failure to allow
for increased braking distance may result in
accident and injury. Always allow more dis-
tance to stop when carrying cargo or towing
a trailer.
