towed away and repaired as soon as
possible.
If you have to drive the car for a short
trip, you must drive with extremely
car. Drive in Poor Weather
Driving force (adhesive force) and
visibility will reduce in rainy, snowy
and fog days, and such environment
requires different driving skill. Make
good maintenance of the car in
normal time, and take special care
when driving in poor weather. Under
such conditions, do not use cruise
control function (optional on some
models).
Driving skill
– driving speed shall be
slower than in dry weather. Even
when the road is a little damp, the car
need much longer response time to
apply stable and even pressure to all
control devices. In wet weather, sharp
turning or hard braking may cause the
car out of control. In the first a few
miles after the road condition changes,
you shall drive with special care,
especially in winter days. During
summer, a driver may forget driving
skills for driving on snowy road, and
exercise is needed to regain such
skills.
After long dry period, you shall be
careful when driving in rainy days. In
the first rainy days after long dry
period, oil on the road will float on the
top of water, making the road slippery.
Visibility
– under all weather
conditions, it is very important for a
driver to see around and to be seen
by other drivers clearly. In poor
weather, visibility will deteriorate and
you shall turn on headlights even in
daytime for better visibility.
You shall check the windshield wiper
and cleaner regularly. Keep sufficient
cleanser liquid in the cleanser tank of
windshield cleaner. If the wiper can
not wipe the windshield clean, you
shall replace the wiper blade. In
addition, you can use defroster and
AC device to prevent fogging on the
internal side of the windows.
Driving force (adhesive force)
– you
shall check whether the wear and
pressure of the tires are appropriate
regularly, which is important to
prevent the auto shift (adhesive force
reduced on wet road). In winter all 4
wheels shall change to snow tires
