Driving your vehicle
Rocking the vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle
to free it from snow, sand, or mud,
first turn the steering wheel right
and left to clear the area around
your front wheels. Then, shift back
and forth between R (Reverse) and
any forward gear.
Do not race the vehicle, and spin the
wheels as little as possible. If you
are still stuck after a few tries, have
the vehicle pulled out by a tow vehi
cle to avoid vehicle overheating and
possible damage to the reduction
gear.
WARNING
Sudden Vehicle Movement
Do not attempt to rock the vehicle if
people or objects are nearby. The
vehicle may suddenly move forward
or backwards as it becomes
unstuck.
CAUTION
Vehicle rocking
Prolonged rocking may cause vehicle
overheating, transmission damage
or failure, and tire damage.
Special driving conditions
CAUTION
Spinning tires
Do not spin the wheels, especially at
speeds more than 56 km/h. Spinning
the wheels at high speeds when the
vehicle is stationary could cause a
tire to overheat which could result in
tire damage that may injure
bystanders.
The Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) should be turned OFF prior to
rocking the vehicle.
Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are
wet. Ideally, corners should always
be taken under gentle acceleration.
If you follow these suggestions, tire
wear will be held to a minimum.
Driving at night
Because night driving presents more
hazards than driving in the daylight,
here are some important tips to
remember:
Slow down and keep more dis
tance between you and other
vehicles, as it may be more diffi
cult to see at night, especially in
areas where there may not be
any street lights.
Adjust your mirrors to reduce the
glare from other driver's head
lights.
