Smooth cornering

Avoid braking or gear changing in cor-
ners, especially when roads are wet.
Ideally, corners should always be taken
under gentle acceleration. If you follow
these suggestions, tire wear will be held
to a minimum.

Driving at night

Because night driving presents more
hazards than driving in the daylight, here
are some important tips to remember:
• 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 may
not be any street lights.

• Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare

from other driver's headlights.

WARNING -

Sudden

vehicle movement

Do not attempt to rock the vehicle if
people or objects are nearby. The
vehicle may suddenly move for-
ward or backwards as it becomes
unstuck.

CAUTION -

Spinning tires

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 station-
ary could cause a tire to overheat
which could result in tire damage.
