Kia Cee'd: Manual Transaxle / Good driving practices
- Never take the vehicle out of gear and
coast down a hill. This is extremely
hazardous. Always leave the vehicle in
gear.
- Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause
them to overheat and malfunction.
Instead, when you are driving down a
long hill, slow down and shift to a lower
gear. When you do this, engine braking
will help slow down the vehicle.
- Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. This will help avoid over-revving
the engine, which can cause damage.
- Slow down when you encounter cross
winds. This gives you much better control
of your vehicle.
- Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift into
R (Reverse). The transaxle can be damaged
if you do not. To shift into R
(Reverse), depress the clutch, move the
shift lever to neutral, wait three seconds,
then shift to the R (Reverse) position.
- Exercise extreme caution when driving
on a slippery surface. Be especially
careful when braking, accelerating or
shifting gears. On a slippery surface,
an abrupt change in vehicle speed can
cause the drive wheels to lose traction
and the vehicle to go out of control.
WARNING
- Always buckle-up! In a collision,
an unbelted occupant is significantly
more likely to be seriously
injured or killed than a properly
belted occupant.
- Avoid high speeds when cornering
or turning.
- Do not make quick steering
wheel movements, such as sharp
lane changes or fast, sharp turns.
- The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of
your vehicle at highway speeds.
- Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off the
roadway and the driver oversteers
to reenter the roadway.
- In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the travel lanes.
- Never exceed posted speed limits.
When you must slow down in heavy traffic
or while driving up steep hills, downshift
before the engine starts to labor.
Downshifting reduces the chance of
stalling and gives better acceleration ...
