DRIVING AND OPERATING
.
Maintain a reasonable steady
speed through the curve.
.
Wait until the vehicle is out of the
curve before accelerating gently
into the straightaway.
Steering in Emergencies
.
There are some situations when
steering around a problem may be
more effective than braking.
.
Holding both sides of the steering
wheel allows you to turn
180 degrees without removing
a hand.
.
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
allows steering while braking.
Off-Road Recovery
The vehicle's right wheels can drop off
the edge of a road onto the shoulder
while driving. Follow these tips:
1. Ease off the accelerator and then,
if there is nothing in the way,
steer the vehicle so that it
straddles the edge of the
pavement.
2. Turn the steering wheel about
one-eighth of a turn, until the
right front tire contacts the
pavement edge.
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 curve
causes tires 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 steer the way you want
the vehicle to go. The vehicle may
straighten out. Be ready for a
second skid if it occurs.
