Night Driving
Ensure that all lights are working and •
windshield, window glasses are clean.
Drive more slowly at night than in the •
daytime, as the visual range is re-
stricted at night. Maintain a speed such
that you can stop within illuminated
distance of head lamps.
Do not use the high beam unless in- •
evitable. It may dazzle the driver of the
oncoming vehicle, thus causing an ac-
cident.
Use head lamp main/dip beam to alert •
other road users on turns/ cross roads
etc.
Use side indicators for lane change or •
turning.
Driving on Gradients
When climbing gradient, the vehicle may
begin to slow down and show a lack of
power. If this happens, shift to a lower gear
and apply power smoothly so that there is
no loss of traction.
When driving down a hill, the engine brak-
ing should be used by shifting into a lower
gear. Do not drive in neutral gear or switch
off the engine.
Driving on Highway
Stopping distance progressively, in-
creases with vehicle speed. Maintain a
sufficient distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead.
For long distance driving, perform safety
checks before starting a trip and take rest
at certain intervals to prevent fatigue.
WARNING
On long and steep gradients you must
reduce the load on the brakes by shift-
ing early to a lower gear. This allows
you to take advantage of the engine
braking effect and helps avoid over-
heating of service brakes resulting in re-
duced braking efficiency.
