Highway Driving

When driving at highway speeds, pay
attention to the following:
• Stopping distance
increases with vehicle speed. Apply the
brakes far enough ahead of the stopping
point to allow for the extra stopping dis-
52D078S tance.
• On rainy days, "Hydroplaning" can occur.
"Hydroplaning" is the loss of direct con-
tact between the road surface and the
vehicle's tyres due to a water film form-
ing between them. Steering or braking
the vehicle while "Hydroplaning" can be
very difficult, and loss of control can
occur. Keep speed down when the road
surface is wet.
• At high speeds, the vehicle may be
affected by side
reduce speed and be prepared for unex-
pected buffeting, which can occur at the
exits of tunnels, when passing by a cut of
a hill, or when being overtaken by large
vehicles, etc.

Driving on Hills

progressively
• When climbing steep hills, the car may
begin to slow down and show a lack of
winds. Therefore,
power. If this happens, you should shift
to a lower gear so that the engine will
again be operating in its normal power
range. Shift rapidly to prevent the car
from losing momentum.
• When driving down a hill, the engine
should be used for braking by shifting to
next lower gear. (Do this with EITHER an
automatic or manual transmission.)
