9-2 Driving and Operating Driving Information Defensive Driving Defensive driving means “ always expect the unexpected. ” The first step in driving defensively is to wear your safety belt, see Safety Belts on page 3 ‑ 8 .
Driving and Operating 9-3 For persons under 21, it is against the law in every U.S. state to drink alcohol. There are good medical, psychological, and developmental reasons for these laws. The obvious way to eliminate the leading highway safety problem is for people never to drink alcohol and then drive.
9-4 Driving and Operating Avoid needless heavy braking. Some people drive in spurts — heavy acceleration followed by heavy braking — rather than keeping pace with traffic. This is a mistake. The brakes might not have time to cool between hard stops.
Driving and Operating 9-5 Steering Tips It is important to take curves at a reasonable speed. T raction in a curve depends on the condition of the tires and the road surface, the angle at which the curve is banked, and vehicle speed. While in a curve, speed is the one factor that can be controlled.
9-6 Driving and Operating Off-Road Recovery The vehicle's right wheels can drop off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while driving. If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pavement, recovery should be fairly easy .
Driving and Operating 9-7 While driving on a surface with reduced traction, try to avoid sudden steering, acceleration, or braking, including reducing vehicle speed by shifting to a lower gear . Any sudden changes could cause the tires to slide. Y ou might not realize the surface is slippery until the vehicle is skidding.
9-8 Driving and Operating Other Rainy Weather Tips Besides slowing down, other wet weather driving tips include: . Allow extra following distance. . Pass with caution. . Keep windshield wiping equipment in good shape. . Keep the windshield washer fluid reservoir filled.
Driving and Operating 9-9 { W ARNING Coasting downhill in N (Neutral) or with the ignition off is dangerous. The brakes will have to do all the work of slowing down and they could get so hot that they would not work well. Y ou would then have poor braking or even none going down a hill.
9-10 Driving and Operating Blizzard Conditions Being stuck in snow can be in a serious situation. Stay with the vehicle unless there is help nearby . If possible, use the Roadside Assistance Program on page 13 ‑ 5 . T o get help and keep everyone in the vehicle safe: .
Driving and Operating 9-1 1 T o save fuel, run the engine for only short periods as needed to warm the vehicle and then shut the engine off and close the window most of the way to save heat. Repeat this until help arrives but only when you feel really uncomfortable from the cold.
9-12 Driving and Operating V ehicle Load Limits It is very important to know how much weight the vehicle can carry . This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight and includes the weight of all occupants, cargo and all nonfactory ‐ installed options.
Driving and Operating 9-13 number of occupant seating positions (A), and the maximum vehicle capacity weight (B) in kilograms and pounds. The T ire and Loading Information label also shows the tire size of the original equipment tires (C) and the recommended cold tire inflation pressures (D).
9-14 Driving and Operating Example 1 A. V ehicle Capacity Weight for Example 1 = 453 kg (1,000 lbs). B. Subtract Occupant Weight @ 68 kg (150 lbs) × 2 = 136 kg (300 lbs). C. Available Occupant and Cargo Weight = 317 kg (700 lbs). Example 2 A. V ehicle Capacity Weight for Example 2 = 453 kg (1,000 lbs).
Driving and Operating 9-15 Refer to the vehicle's T ire and Loading Information label for specific information about the vehicle's capacity weight and seating positions. The combined weight of the driver , passengers, and cargo should never exceed the vehicle's capacity weight.
9-16 Driving and Operating If you put things inside the vehicle — like suitcases, tools, packages, or anything else — they will go as fast as the vehicle goes.
Driving and Operating 9-17 Following break ‐ in, engine speed and load can be gradually increased. Ignition Positions The ignition switch has four different positions. Notice: Using a tool to force the key to turn in the ignition could cause damage to the switch or break the key .
9-18 Driving and Operating B (ACC/ACCESSOR Y): This position unlocks the steering wheel. Some accessories can used in this position.
