Braking
NOTE: Practice starting and stopping (using the brakes) until you are
familiar with the controls.
NOTE: When the throttle pedal is released completely and the engine
speed drops near an idle, the vehicle has no engine braking.

2. Press on the brake pedal evenly and firmly.
When carrying cargo or towing a trailer, remember that load
weight will increase braking distances. Failure to allow for
increased braking distance may result in accident and injury.
