Driving your vehicle
E050200APB
Good driving practices
WARNING
•
Never take the vehicle out of gear and
coast down a hill. This is extremely
hazardous. Always leave the vehicle in
gear.
• Always buckle-up! In a collision,
an unbelted occupant is signifi-
cantly more likely to be seriously
injured or killed than a properly
belted occupant.
•
Don't "ride" the brakes. This can cause
them to overheat and malfunction.
Instead, when you are driving down a
long hill, slow down and shift to a lower
gear.When you do this, engine braking
will help slow down the vehicle.
• Avoid high speeds when corner-
ing or turning.
• Do
not make quick steering
wheel movements, such as sharp
lane changes or fast, sharp turns.
•
•
•
Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. This will help avoid over-revving
the engine, which can cause damage.
• The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of
your vehicle at highway speeds.
Slow down when you encounter cross
winds. This gives you much better con-
trol of your vehicle.
• Losing control often occurs if two
or more wheels drop off the road-
way and the driver oversteers to
reenter the roadway.
Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift into
R (Reverse). The transaxle can be
damaged if you do not.
• In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the travel lanes.
•
Exercise extreme caution when driving
on a slippery surface. Be especially
careful when braking, accelerating or
shifting gears. On a slippery surface,
an abrupt change in vehicle speed can
cause the drive wheels to lose traction
and the vehicle to go out of control.
• Never exceed posted speed lim-
its.
