Protecting Your Mazda
Lane changes and turning
S Avoid quick lane changes, sudden
turns, and tight turns. Avoid sudden
braking.
S A turning trailer will make a tighter
arc than the tow vehicle. Compensate
with turns that are larger than normal.
4-34
Passing
S Plan well ahead to pass other vehi-
cles, and provide plenty of room
when changing lanes.
S Crosswinds from passing vehicles,
especially larger ones, and the effects
of rough roads will affect handling.
If swaying occurs, firmly grip the steer-
ing wheel and reduce speed immedi-
ately, but gradually.
Steer straight ahead. If no extreme cor-
rection of steering or braking is made,
the combination of less speed and firm
steering will result in stability.
Backing up
S Backing a vehicle with a trailer
requires practice and patience. Back
slowly, and have a helper outside at
the rear of the trailer.
