cially careful when braking, acceler-
ating or shifting gears. On a slippery
surface, an abrupt change in ve-
hicle speed can cause the drive
wheels to lose traction and the ve-
hicle to go out of control.
WARNING:
o Avoid high cornering speeds.
o Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
o Always wear your seat belts. In a
collision crash, an unbelted person
is significantly more likely to die
than a person wearing a seatbelt.
o The risk of rollover is greatly in-
creased if you lose control of
your vehicle at highway speeds.
o Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off the
roadway and the driver oversteers
to reenter the roadway.
o In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pull-
ing back into the travel lanes.
o Never exceed posted speed lim-
its.
