SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
E110100AUN
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 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.
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
WARNING - ABS
Do not  pump the brake  pedal on a
vehicle equipped with ABS.
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
operation the vehicle may suddenly
move  forward   or  backward  as   it
becomes  unstuck,  causing   injury
or  damage   to   nearby  people   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 over-
heating   and  possible   damage  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.
CAUTION
Prolonged    rocking    may    cause
engine over-heating, transaxle dam-
age or failure, and tire damage.
