General Driving Behaviors

Clutch Usage (for Manual Transmission)

  • Always use the clutch to shift.
  • If equipped with an unsynchronized manual transmission, you must double-clutch when shifting. Do not rev or lug the engine.
  • Do not ride the clutch to control speed, coast with the clutch depressed, or “pop” the clutch.

Gear Usage (for Manual Transmission)

  • Do not grind or clash the gears.
  • Select a gear that does not rev or lug engine.
  • Do not shift in turns and intersections.

Brake Usage

  • Do not ride or pump the brake.
  • Do not brake harshly. Brake smoothly using steady pressure.

Lane Usage

  • Do not drive the vehicle over curbs, sidewalks, or lane markings.
  • Stop behind stop lines, crosswalks, or stop signs.
  • Complete a turn in the proper lane on a multiple lane road (the vehicle should finish a left turn in the lane directly to the right of the center line).
  • Finish a right turn in the right-most (curb) lane.
  • Move to or remain in the right-most lane unless the lane is blocked.
