Before Leaving on a Long Trip

To prepare your vehicle for a long trip, consider having
it serviced by your dealer/retailer before departing.

Things to check on your own include:

Windshield Washer Fluid: Reservoir full? Windows
clean — inside and outside?

Wiper Blades: In good shape?

Fuel, Engine Oil, Other Fluids: All levels checked?

Lamps: Do they all work and are lenses clean?

Tires: Are treads good? Are tires inflated to
recommended pressure?

Weather and Maps: Safe to travel? Have
up-to-date maps?

Highway Hypnosis

Always be alert and pay attention to your surroundings
while driving. If you become tired or sleepy, find a
safe place to park your vehicle and rest.

Other driving tips include:

Keep the vehicle well ventilated.

Keep interior temperature cool.

Keep your eyes moving — scan the road ahead
and to the sides.

Check the rearview mirror and vehicle instruments
often.
