2-36 IMPORTANT INFORMATION • Avoid scraping the tire sidewalls against curbstones or driving over dips and protrusions in the road surface. You could damage the wheels or tires, resulting in a blowout or flat tire. • When going down on a steep slope, avoid driving the vehicle backward as much as possible.
Page 83
2-37 IMPORTANT INFORMATION Driving Down a Long Slope When driving down a long slope, use engine brake together with the foot brakes. Using the low-gear engine brake reduces the work load on the foot brakes and yields greater braking force. In automatic transmission models, do not use the auto mode, as it does not provide engine efficiency.
Page 84
2-38 IMPORTANT INFORMATION Driving in Bad Weather (Rain, Icy Roads, Snowy Roads, etc.) CAUTION • In bad weather, visibility is reduced and slippery road surfaces increase stopping distances. Drive more slowly than you would in good weather. Also, avoid sharp turns of the steering wheel and hard braking. Use engine brakes together with the foot brakes to decelerate.
Page 85
2-39 IMPORTANT INFORMATION Driving on Snowy or Icy Roads Caution on Slippery Roads CAUTION • On slippery roads, never accelerate rapidly, brake hard, decelerate rapidly or make sharp turns of the steering wheel. • There is a risk of reduced grip between the tires and road surface and of increased braking distances.
Page 86
2-40 IMPORTANT INFORMATION Pay Attention to the Way the Steering Wheel Turns and Feels CAUTION • On snowy roads, water and snow splashed up by the tires can freeze and accumulate inside the fenders, making the steering wheel hard to turn. From time to time, get out of the vehicle and remove any accumulated snow.
Page 87
2-41 IMPORTANT INFORMATION Removing Snow from the Underbody Look under the vehicle and remove any lumps of ice that are stuck to the underbody. Be careful not to damage components. ADVICE • Do not use a sharp implement to remove snow. Sharp edges could damage rubber parts.
Page 88
2-42 IMPORTANT INFORMATION NOTE • On a muddy road with an automatic transmission model, by depressing the brake pedal you can make a standing start in the manual mode 2nd gear and move the selector lever to the "+" (upshift) position. This provides better traction and safer vehicle operation.
