Driving your vehicle Special driving conditions
WARNING
If your vehicle becomes stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then you may
attempt to rock the vehicle free by
moving it forward and backward. Do
not attempt this procedure if people
or objects are anywhere near the
vehicle. During the rocking operation
the vehicle may suddenly move for
-
ward of backward as it becomes
unstuck, causing injury or damage
to nearby people or objects.
Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are
wet. Ideally, corners should always
be taken under gentle acceleration.
If you follow these suggestions, tyre
wear will be held to a minimum.
Driving at night
Because night driving presents more
hazards than driving in the daylight,
here are some important tips to
remember:
䳜 Slow down and keep more dis
-
tance between you and other
vehicles, as it may be more diffi
-
cult to see at night, especially in
areas where there may not be
any street lights.
䳜 Adjust your mirrors to reduce the
glare from other driver's head -
lights.
䳜 Keep your headlights clean and
properly aimed on vehicles not
equipped with the automatic
headlight aiming feature. Dirty or
improperly aimed headlights will
make it much more difficult to see
at night.
䳜 Avoid staring directly at the head
-
lights of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and
it will take several seconds for
your eyes to readjust to the dark
-
ness.
