Driving your vehicle
•
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.
• 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.
•
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.

After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them several
times while the vehicle is moving slowly.

see and will increase the distance
needed to stop your vehicle, so slow

windshield wiper blades when they
show signs of streaking or missing
areas on the windshield.
