HOW TO OPERATE
j
Moving Off
•
Depress the brake pedal.
•
Put the gear shift lever into the “H” (High) or “L”
(Low; KAF620M only) position.
•
Release the parking brake.
•
Gradually increase engine speed by pressing on
the throttle pedal.
NOTE
°
Practice starting and stopping (using the brakes)
until you are familiar with the controls.
Braking
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.
Employ the brakes to control the vehicle’s speed.
•
Release the throttle pedal completely.
•
Press on the brake pedal evenly and firmly.
WARNING
Carrying cargo or towing a trailer will in-
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.
