Driving your vehicle
•
If your tires are not in good condition, Driving in flooded areas
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.
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no high-
er than the bottom of the wheel hub.
Drive through any water slowly. Allow
adequate stopping distance because
brake performance may be affected.
•
•
Driving too fast through large puddles
can affect your brakes. If you must go
through puddles, try to drive through
them slowly.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them several
times while the vehicle is moving slowly.
•
If you believe you may have gotten
your brakes wet, apply them lightly
while driving until normal braking oper-
ation returns.
Driving off-road

VQA3003
Drive carefully off-road because your
vehicle may be damaged by rocks or
roots of trees. Become familiar with the
off-road conditions where you are going
to drive before you begin driving.
Driving in the rain
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.
