Driving tips
NOTICE
Driving at night
Driving in the rain  
Because   night  driving   presents   more
hazards than driving in  the daylight, here
are some important  tips to remember:
Rain  and  wet  roads  can  make  driving
dangerous,  especially  if you’re  not  pre-
pared for the  slick pavement. Here are  a
few things to consider when driving in the
rain:
•  A  heavy rainfall  will make  it harder  to
see   and  will   increase   the  distance
needed  to stop  your  vehicle,  so slow
down.
•  Keep  your   windshield  wiping   equip-
ment  in   good  shape.   Replace  your
windshield   wiper  blades   when   they
show  signs   of  streaking   or  missing
areas on the windshield.
•  If your  tires are  not in  good condition,
making a  quick stop on  wet pavement
can cause  a skid and  possibly lead  to
an accident.  Be sure  your tires  are  in
good shape.
Prolonged  rocking   may  cause   engine
over-heating, transaxle damage or   fail-
ure, and tire damage.  
Slow  down  and  keep  more  distance
between you  and other  vehicles,  as it
may be  more  difficult to  see  at night,
especially  in  areas  where  there  may
not be any street  lights.
WARNING - Spinning tires
Do  not spin the wheels,  especially
at speeds  more  than  56  km/h  (35
mph). Spinning  the  wheels  at high
speeds when  the vehicle isstation-
ary could  cause  a tire  to overheat,
explode and injure  bystanders.
Adjust your mirrors to  reduce the glare
from other driver's  headlights.
Keep your  headlights clean  and prop-
erly  aimed  on  vehicles  not  equipped
with  the   automatic  headlight   aiming
feature.   Dirty   or   improperly   aimed
headlights will make it much more diffi-
cult to see at  night.
Avoid staring  directly at the  headlights
of  oncoming   vehicles. You   could  be
temporarily   blinded,  and  it   will  take
several seconds for  your eyes to read-
just to the darkness.
•  Turn on your headlights to make it eas-
ier for others to  see you.
Driving too  fast through  large puddles
can affect  your brakes. If you  must go
through  puddles,  try  to drive  through
them slowly.
If  you  believe  you  may   have  gotten
your  brakes   wet,  apply  them   lightly
while driving until normal braking  oper-
ation returns.
