NOTICE
If you are still stuck after rocking
the vehicle a few times, have the
vehicle pulled out by a tow vehicle
to avoid engine overheating, pos-
sible damage to the transmission,
and tire damage. See “Towing” in
chapter 6.
Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are
wet. Ideally, corners should always
be taken under gentle acceleration.
Driving at night
Night driving presents more hazards
than driving in the daylight. Here are
someimportanttipstoremember:
• Slow down and keep more dis-
tance between you and other vehi-
cles, as it may be more difficult to
see at night, especially in areas
where there may not be any street
lights.
• Adjust your mirrors to reduce the
glare from other drivers’ headlam-
ps.
• Keep your headlamps clean and
properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlamps will make it
much more difficult to see at night.
• Avoidstaringdirectlyatthehead-
lamps of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyestoreadjusttothedarkness.
Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. Here are a few things to
consider when driving in the rain or
onslickpavement:
• Slowdownandallowextrafollow-
ing distance. A heavy rainfall
makes it harder to see and increas-
es the distance needed to stop
your vehicle.
• Turn OFF your Cruise Control (if
equipped).
• Replace your windshield wiper
blades when they show signs of
streaking or missing areas on the
windshield.
• Be sure your tires have enough
tread. If your tires do not have
enough tread, making a quick stop
on wet pavement can cause a skid
and possibly lead to an accident.
See “Tire replacement” in chap-
ter 8.
• Turnonyourheadlampstomakeit
easier for others to see you.
• Drivingtoofastthroughlargepud-
dles can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly.
• Ifyoubelieveyourbrakesmaybe
wet, apply them lightly while driv-
ing until normal braking operation
returns.
