SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS

Hazardous driving conditions  

When hazardous driving conditions are
encountered such as water, snow, ice,
mud, sand, or similar hazards, follow
these suggestions:
• Drive cautiously and allow extra dis-

tance for braking.

• Avoid sudden movements in 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.

• 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.

Rocking the vehicle  

If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to
free it from snow, sand, or mud, first turn
the steering wheel right and left to clear
the area around your front wheels. Then,
shift back and forth between 1 (First) and
R (Reverse) in vehicles equipped with a
manual transaxle or R (Reverse) and any
forward gear in vehicles equipped with
an automatic transaxle. Do not race the
engine, and spin the wheels as little as
possible. If you are still stuck after a few
tries, have the vehicle pulled out by a tow
vehicle to avoid engine overheating and
possible damage to the transaxle.

✽

✽

NOTICE

Prolonged rocking may cause engine
over-heating, transaxle damage or fail-
ure, and tire damage.  

CAUTION

- 

ABS

Do not pump the brake pedal on a
vehicle equipped with ABS.

WARNING 

- Downshifting

Downshifting with an automatic
transaxle, 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 slip-
pery surfaces.

WARNING

- Spinning tires

Do not spin the wheels, especially
at speeds more than 35 mph (56
km/h). Spinning the wheels at high
speeds when the vehicle is station-
ary could cause a tire to overheat,
explode and injure bystanders.
