SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
Hazardous driving conditions
Reducing the risk of a rollover
WARNING - Downshifting
When  hazardous driving  conditions  are
encountered  such  as  water, snow,  ice,
mud,  sand,   or  similar  hazards,   follow
these suggestions:
This multi-purpose  passenger vehicle  is
defined   as   a  Multi   Purpose   Vehicle
(MPV). MPV’s have higher ground  clear-
ance and a narrower track to make  them
capable of performing in a wide variety of
road  applications. Specific  design char-
acteristics  give them  a higher  center of
gravity than ordinary vehicles. An advan-
tage of the  higher ground clearance is  a
better view of the road, which allows you
to  anticipate   problems.  They   are  not
designed   for   cornering   at  the   same
speeds as conventional  passenger vehi-
cles. Due to this risk,  driver and passen-
gers are strongly recommended to buck-
le their seat belts.  In a rollover crash, an
unbelted person is more likely to die than
a person wearing  a seat belt.  There are
steps that  a  driver can  make to  reduce
the risk  of  a rollover.   If  at  all possible,
avoid sharp  turns or  abrupt maneuvers,
do  not  load  your  roof rack  with  heavy
cargo, and  never modify  your vehicle  in
any way.
Downshifting   with   an   automatic
transaxle/dual clutch transmission,
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 slippery surfaces.
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.
WARNING - ABS
Do not  pump the brake  pedal on a
vehicle equipped with ABS.
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.
