Your Driving and the Road
long
as your tailpipe is under water, you'll
never be able to start your engine. When
you go through water, remember that
when your brakes get wet, it may take
you longer to stop.
After Off-Road Driving
Remove any brush or debris that has
collected on the underbody, chassis or
under the hood. These accumulations can
be a fire hazard.
After operation in mud or sand, have the
brake linings cleaned and checked. These
substances can cause glazing and uneven
braking. Check the body structure,
steering, suspension, wheels, tires, and
exhaust system for damage.
Also,
check
the fuel lines and cooling system for any
leakage.
Your vehicle will require more frequent
service due to off-road
use.
Refer
to the
Maintenance Schedule for additional
information.

Driving at Night
Night driving is more dangerous than day
driving. One reason is that some drivers
are likely to be impaired
-
by alcohol or
drugs, with night vision problems, or by
fatigue.
Here are some tips on night driving.
Drive defensively.
Don't drink and drive.
Adjust your inside rearview mirror to
reduce the glare from headlights
behind you.
Since you can't see as well,
you
may
need to slow down and keep more
space between
you
and other vehicles.
