Driving your vehicle
Spinning the wheels at high speeds
when the vehicle is stationary could
overheat and damage tyres, and the
rotating wheels may fly away and injure
bystanders.
NOTICE
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
should be turned OFF prior to rocking
the vehicle.
Smooth cornering
OMQ4043036L
Avoid braking or gear changing in cor-
ners, especially when roads are wet. Ide-
ally, corners should always be taken
under gentle acceleration. If you follow
these suggestions, tyre wear will be held
to a minimum.
Driving at night
OMQ4043037
Because night driving presents more
hazards than driving in the daylight,
here are some important tips to remem-
ber:
僅 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.
僅 Adjust your mirrors to reduce the
glare from other driver's headlights.
僅 Keep your headlights clean and prop-
erly aimed. (On vehicles not equipped
with the automatic headlight aiming
feature.) Dirty or improperly aimed
headlights will make it much more dif-
ficult to see at night.
僅 Avoid staring directly at the head-
lights of oncoming vehicles. You could
be temporarily blinded, and it will take
several seconds for your eyes to read-
just to the darkness.
Driving in the rain
OMQ4043061L
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous, especially if you're not pre-
pared for the slick pavement.
Here are a few things to consider when
driving in the rain:
僅 A heavy rainfall will make it harder to
see and will increase the distance
