SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
E110100APA
Hazardous driving conditions
WARNING - Downshifting
WARNING - Spinning  tires
When  hazardous driving  conditions  are
encountered  such  as water,  snow,  ice,
mud,  sand,   or  similar  hazards,  follow
these suggestions:
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
which  could result  in  tire damage
that may injure bystanders.
Drive  cautiously  and allow  extra  dis-
tance for braking.
Avoid sudden 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.
V NOTICE
The ESP system (if equipped) should  be
turned OFF prior to rocking the vehicle.
E110200AEN
Rocking the vehicle
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.
WARNING
If  your  vehicle  becomes  stuck  in
snow,  mud,  sand,   etc.,  then  you
may attempt to rock the vehicle free
by  moving   it  forward   and  back-
ward.  Do  not  attempt  this  proce-
dure  if people  or  objects are  any-
where near  the vehicle. During  the
rocking operation  the  vehicle may
suddenly  move  forward   or  back-
ward as it  becomes unstuck, caus-
ing injury or damage to nearby peo-
ple or objects.
and
any   forward    gear    in   vehicles
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  overheating  and  possible  dam-
age to the transaxle.
If  stalled in  snow, mud,  or  sand, use
second   gear.  Accelerate    slowly   to
avoid spinning the drive wheels.
Use  sand,  rock   salt,  tire  chains,  or
other non-slip material under  the drive
wheels to provide traction when stalled
in ice, snow, or mud.
