When Parking or Stopping in An Enclosed Place
When parking or stopping in an enclosed place, turn off the
engine.
WARNING
Leaving the engine running in an enclosed place, in a garage or in-
doors or in other areas with no air circulation, might result in death
from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Things To Watch For When Backing Up
When backing up your vehicle, always make sure that there
are no children or other obstacles behind the car.
Driving in the Rain
When it is raining the road surface becomes slippery and your
tire-to-road traction is reduced, so you should drive more care-
fully than usual.
CAUTION
If you travel at a high speed on a wet road, your tires might not be in
constant contact with the road; if your tires float, your vehicle starts
hydroplaning. You might lose control of your steering and brakes.
After driving through a puddle of water, or after a car wash,
apply your brake pedal lightly several times while moving
slowly to confirm that your brakes work normally before get-
ting on the road.
