Driving your vehicle

16

• Always use the parking brake. Do not

depend on placing the transmission in
P (Park) to keep the car from moving.

• Exercise extreme caution when driving

on a slippery surface. Be especially
careful when braking, accelerating or
shifting gears. On a slippery surface,
an abrupt change in vehicle speed can
cause the drive wheels to lose traction
and the vehicle to go out of control.

• Optimum vehicle performance and

economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the accelera-
tor pedal.

WARNING

• Always buckle-up! In a collision,

an unbelted occupant is signifi-
cantly more likely to be seriously
injured or killed than a properly
belted occupant.

• Avoid high speeds when corner-

ing or turning.

• Do not make quick steering

wheel movements, such as sharp
lane changes or fast, sharp turns.

• The risk of rollover is greatly

increased if you lose control of
your vehicle at highway speeds.

• Loss of control often occurs if

two or more wheels drop off the
roadway and the driver over-
steers to reenter the roadway.

• In the event your vehicle leaves

the roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the travel lanes.

• Never exceed posted speed lim-

its.

WARNING

If your vehicle becomes stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then you
may attempt to rock the vehicle free
by moving it forward and backward.
Do not attempt this procedure if
people or objects are anywhere
near the vehicle. During the rocking
operation the vehicle may suddenly
move forward or backward as it
becomes unstuck, causing injury
or damage to nearby people or
objects.
