SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
Hazardous driving conditions
When  hazardous driving  conditions  are
encountered  such  as  water, snow,  ice,
mud,  sand,   or  similar  hazards,   follow
these suggestions:
WARNING - Downshifting
WARNING - Spinning  tires
Downshifting   with   an   automatic
transaxle, while driving  on slippery
surfaces  can   cause  an   accident.
The  sudden  change  in  tire  speed
could  cause  the  tires  to  skid.  Be
careful when  downshifting on  slip-
pery surfaces.
Do not  spin  the wheels,  especially
at  speeds  more  than 56  km/h  (35
mph). Spinning  the wheels  at high
speeds when the vehicle  is station-
ary could  cause a  tire to  overheat,
explode and injure bystanders.
Drive  cautiously  and  allow extra  dis-
tance for braking.
Avoid sudden movements in braking or
steering.
When  braking  with   non-ABS  brakes
pump the  brake pedal with  a light  up-
and-down  motion  until  the  vehicle  is
stopped.
CAUTION
ESC   system    (if   equipped)
should be turned OFF prior to rock-
ing the vehicle.
Rocking the vehicle
The
If  it is  necessary  to rock  the  vehicle to
free it from snow, sand, or mud, first  turn
the steering  wheel right and left  to clear
the area around your front wheels. Then,
shift back and forth between R (Reverse)
WARNING - ABS
Do not  pump the  brake pedal on  a
vehicle equipped with ABS.

vehicles
WARNING
equipped with an automatic transaxle. Do
not race the engine, and spin the wheels
as little  as possible. If you  are still stuck
after a  few tries, have the  vehicle pulled
out by a tow vehicle to avoid engine over-
heating   and  possible   damage  to   the
transaxle.
If  your  vehicle  becomes   stuck  in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may
attempt to  rock the  vehicle free  by
moving it forward and backward. Do
not attempt this procedure if people
or  objects  are  anywhere  near  the
vehicle.  During the  rocking  opera-
tion the vehicle may suddenly move
forward or backward  as it becomes
unstuck, causing  injury or  damage
to nearby people or objects.
If  stalled in  snow, mud,  or  sand, use
second   gear.  Accelerate    slowly   to
avoid spinning the drive wheels.
Use  sand, rock  salt  or other  non-slip
material under the drive wheels to pro-
vide traction when stalled in  ice, snow,
or mud.
CAUTION
Prolonged
rocking
may
cause
engine over-heating, transaxle dam-
age or failure, and tire damage.
