If you release the accelerator abruptly or brake hard while
going too fast around a severe curve, your vehicle may change
its direction of travel. Avoid applying the brakes, if possible. If
you must apply the brakes, use the "squeeze" technique
described earlier.
Wheel Spin
Extreme acceleration can cause the front wheels to spin,
resulting in reduced steering control. If the wheels spin during
vehicle start-up, shift to 2 (Second) gear. Move forward slowly
and evenly. If this does not work, try rocking the vehicle.
Driving at High Speeds
Driving too fast for conditions creates the possibility of
loss of vehicle control. Driving at very high speeds for
extended periods of time may result in damage to vehicle
components.
Ford Motor Company recommends obeying posted speed limits.
Do not spin the wheels at over 35 mph (55 km/h). The
tires may fail and injure a passenger or bystander.
Driving in Bad Weather
Slippery roads
Drive cautiously on wet or snowy roads.
Do not quickly move the steering wheel unless necessary.
Drive more slowly than you would normally.
Do not use speed control.
Give your vehicle more distance to stop.
