Driving and Operating
3. Turn the steering wheel to go
straight down the roadway.
Loss of Control
Skidding
There are three types of skids that
correspond to the vehicle's three
control systems:
.
Braking Skid - wheels are not
rolling.
.
Steering or Cornering Skid - too
much speed or steering in a
bend causes tyres to slip and
lose cornering force.
.
Acceleration Skid - too much
throttle causes the driving
wheels to spin.
Defensive drivers avoid most skids
by taking reasonable care suited to
existing conditions, and by not
overdriving those conditions. But
skids are always possible.
If the vehicle starts to slide, follow
these suggestions:
.
Ease your foot off the
accelerator pedal and quickly
steer the way you want the
vehicle to go. The vehicle may
straighten out. Be ready for a
second skid if it occurs.
.
Slow down and adjust your
driving according to weather
conditions. Stopping distance
can be longer and vehicle
control can be affected when
traction is reduced by water,
snow, ice, gravel, or other
material on the road. Learn to
recognise warning clues - such
as enough water, ice, or packed
snow on the road to make a
mirrored surface - and slow
down when you have any doubt.
.
Try to avoid sudden steering,
acceleration, or braking,
including reducing vehicle speed
by shifting to a lower gear. Any
sudden changes could cause
the tyres to slide.
Remember: Antilock brakes help
avoid only the braking skid.
Off-Road Driving
Four-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive
vehicles can be used for off-road
driving. Vehicles without four-wheel
drive, all-wheel-drive and vehicles
not equipped with All Terrain (AT) or
On-Off Road (OOR) tyres must not
be driven off-road except on a level,
solid surface. To contact the tyre
manufacturer for more information
about the original equipment tyres,
see the Limited Warranty and
Owner Assistance Information
manual.
Controlling the vehicle is the key to
successful off-road driving. One of
the best ways to control the vehicle
is to control the speed.
