Hazardous Driving

WARNING

Be extremely careful if it is necessary
to downshift on slippery surfaces:
Downshifting into lower gear while
driving on slippery surfaces is
dangerous. The sudden change in tire
speed could cause the tires to skid.
This could lead to loss of vehicle
control and an accident.

Do not rely on ABS as a substitute for
safe driving:
The ABS cannot compensate for
unsafe and reckless driving, excessive
speed, tailgating (following another
vehicle too closely), driving on ice and
snow, and hydroplaning (reduced tire
friction and road contact because of
water on the road surface). You can
still have an accident.

When driving in water, mud, sand, or
similar hazards:

l

Be cautious and allow extra distance
for braking.

l

Avoid sudden braking and sudden
maneuvering.

l

Do not pump the brakes. Continue to
press down on the brake pedal.
Refer to Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS) on page 5-7.

l

If you get stuck, select a lower gear and
accelerate slowly. Do not spin the front
wheels.
Refer to All-Wheel Drive Operation on
page 5-11.

l

For more traction in starting on
slippery surfaces, use sand, rock salt,
chains, carpeting, or other nonslip
material under the front wheels.
