WARNING
Rapid acceleration can cause skidding and loss of traction, especially on slippery roads,
resulting in a loss of vehicle control, collisions, and serious personal injury.
Only use the kick-down feature or fast acceleration if visibility, weather, road, and traffic
conditions permit and other drivers will not be endangered by your driving and the vehicle's
acceleration.
WARNING
Constant braking causes the brakes to overheat and even to fail leading to collisions and
serious personal injury.
Never "ride" the brakes or apply the brake pedal too often or too long.
Riding the brakes will substantially reduce braking performance, increase stopping
distance, and can cause complete brake system failure.
