Driving your vehicle

Special driving conditions
- Avoid sharp turns and abrupt
maneuvers.
- In a rollover crash, an unbelted per -
son is significantly more likely to die
than a person wearing a seat belt.
Make sure everyone in the vehicle
is properly buckled up.
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 R
(Reverse) and any forward gear position.
Do not race the vehicle, 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 vehi
-
cle overheating and possible damage to
the reduction gear.
WARNING
Do not attempt to rock the vehicle if
people or objects are nearby. The vehi
-
cle may suddenly move forward or
backwards as it becomes unstuck.
CAUTION
僅 Prolonged rocking may cause vehicle
overheating, reduction gear damage
or failure, and tire damage.
僅 Do not spin the wheels, especially at
speeds more than 56 km/h (35 mph).
Spinning the wheels at high speeds
when the vehicle is stationary could
overheat and damage tires, and the
rotating wheels may fly away and
injure bystanders.
NOTICE
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
should be turned OFF prior to rocking
the vehicle.
Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing while
cornering, especially when the road is
wet. Ideally, corners should always be
negotiated with gentle acceleration. If
you follow these suggestions, tire wear
will be kept to a minimum.
Driving at night
Because night driving presents more
hazards than driving in the daylight,
here are some important tips to remem
-
ber:
僅 Slow down and keep more distance
between you and other vehicles as it
may be more difficult to see at night,
especially in areas where there are no
street lights.
僅 Adjust your mirrors to reduce the
glare from other driver's headlamps.
僅 Keep your headlamps clean and prop
-
erly aimed. (On vehicles not equipped
with the automatic headlamp aiming
feature.) Dirty or improperly aimed
headlamps will make it much more
difficult to see at night.
僅 Avoid staring directly at the head
-
lamps of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your eyes
to readjust to the darkness.
