Gradually increase engine speed by pressing on
the throttle pedal.

Braking
Release the throttle pedal completely.
Press on the brake pedal evenly and firmly.
NOTE
°
When the throttle pedal is released completely and
the engine speed drops near an idle, the vehicle
has no engine braking. This is caused by the ve-
hicle’s automatic transmission which releases the
engine at very low speed to prevent it from stalling.
Apply the brakes to control the vehicle’s speed.

Carrying cargo or towing a trailer will in-
crease braking distances.
Failure to allow

accident and injury. Always allow more dis-
