2–28 STARTING AND OPERATING
• Do not operate the engine in confined ar-
eas such as garages or other closed
areas any more than needed to move
the vehicle in or out of the area.
• When the vehicle is stopped in an un-
confined area for more than a short time
with the engine running, place the air
intake lever to the fresh air mode to
draw the outside air into the vehicle and
set the fan switch to high speed.
• Never sit (or leave the children) in a
parked or stopped vehicle for any ex-
tended period of time with the engine
running.
• Avoid driving with tailgate open, as ex-
haust gases could enter the vehicle. If
you must drive with the tailgate open,
close all windows, place the air intake
lever to the fresh air mode to draw the
outside air into the vehicle, and set the
fan switch to high speed.
HAZARDOUS DRIVING
When hazardous driving is encountered
because of water, snow, ice, mud, sand or
similar hazard, follow these suggestions.
• Drive cautiously and allow extra dis-
tance for braking.
• Avoid sudden movements in braking or
steering.
• When braking depress the brake pedal
with a light up-and-down motion until the
vehicle is stopped.
• If stalled in snow, mud or sand, use 2nd
gear for manual transmission or “WIN-
TER” mode for automatic transmission
and accelerate slowly. Accelerate
slowly to avoid spinning.
• Use sand, rock salt, tyre chains, or
other nonslip material under the rear
wheels to provide traction when stalled
in ice snow or mud.
