IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• Avoid scraping the tire sidewalls against curbstones or driving over dips and
protrusions in the road surface. You could damage the wheels or tires, resulting in
a blowout or flat tire.
• When going down on a steep slope, avoid driving the vehicle backward as much
as possible. Drive it forward slowly on the down slope.
• Compared with forward movement, the braking distance of backward movement
is longer, and the steering response of that is worse.
• If you must drive the vehicle backward, drive it very carefully and gradually by
moving and stopping repeatedly in order to stop it any time.
• The brakes give strong braking force with only light pressure on the pedal. Do not
depress the brake pedal too strongly except in the event of an emergency.
• Nighttime driving is more dangerous than daytime driving because the field
of view is narrower. Keep your speed down, and maintain an ample headway
distance.
• When driving in fog, turn on the front fog lights (if equipped), rear fog light
(if equipped), and drive slowly, using the road's center line as a guide. It is
dangerous only to follow the lights of the preceding vehicle because they can
cause optical illusions. Drive with caution.
• Speeds on highways are higher than those on regular roads, so there is more
danger. Also, a breakdown on a highway represents a hazard to other vehicles
and can cause an accident. Concentrate on safe driving. Remember to perform
daily pre-operation inspections and use highway driving techniques.
• Your sense of how fast you are traveling becomes distorted on long highway
drives. Constantly keep an eye on the speedometer, and maintain a suitable
headway distance.
• During high-speed driving, even a little turn of the steering wheel causes a big
movement of the vehicle. Turn the steering wheel slowly.
