Driving In The Rain - Toyota Coaster 2015 Owner's Manual

Be careful when accelerating, up-
D
shifting, downshifting or braking on
a slippery surface. Sudden accelera-
tion or engine braking could cause
the vehicle to skid or spin.
Do not continue normal driving
D
when the brakes are wet. If they are
wet, your vehicle will require a lon-
ger stopping distance, and it may
pull to one side when the brakes
are applied. Also, the parking brake
will not hold the vehicle securely.
NOTICE
z Do not depress the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time dur-
ing driving. If the brake pedal is
depressed while driving with the ac-
celerator pedal depressed, driving
torque may be restrained.
z Do not use the accelerator pedal or
depress the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time to hold the
vehicle on a hill.

Driving in the rain

Driving on a slippery road surface
Drive carefully when it is raining, because
visibility will be reduced, the windows may
become fogged−up, and the road will be
slippery.
Drive carefully when it starts to rain,
D
because the road surface will be espe-
cially slippery.
Refrain from high speeds when driving
D
on an expressway in the rain, because
there may be a layer of water between
the tires and the
preventing the steering and brakes
from operating properly.
Sudden braking, acceleration and
D
steering when driving on a slippery
road surface may cause tire slip-
page and reduce your ability to
control the vehicle, resulting in an
accident.
Sudden changes in engine speed,
D
such as sudden engine braking,
may cause the vehicle to skid, re-
road surface,
sulting in an accident.
After driving through
D
lightly depress the brake pedal to
make sure that the brakes are func-
tioning properly. Wet brake pads
may prevent the brakes from func-
tioning properly. If the brakes on
only one side are wet and not func-
tioning properly, steering control
may be affected, resulting in an ac-
cident.
