Driving and Operating 8-3 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 2 ‑ 1 1 . { W ARNING Assume that other road users (pedestrians, bicyclists, and other drivers) are going to be careless and make mistakes.
8-4 Driving and Operating spinal cord, or heart. This means that when anyone who has been drinking — driver or passenger — is in a crash, that person's chance of being killed or permanently disabled is higher than if the person had not been drinking.
Driving and Operating 8-5 If the engine ever stops while the vehicle is being driven, brake normally but do not pump the brakes. If the brakes are pumped, the pedal could get harder to push down. If the engine stops, there will still be some power brake assist but it will be used when the brake is applied.
8-6 Driving and Operating Steering in Emergencies There are times when steering can be more effective than braking. For example, you come over a hill and find a truck stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly pulls out from nowhere, or a child darts out from between parked cars and stops right in front of you.
Driving and Operating 8-7 tire contacts the pavement edge. Then turn the steering wheel to go straight down the roadway . Loss of Control Let us review what driving experts say about what happens when.
8-8 Driving and Operating Competitive Driving Competitive driving may affect the vehicle warranty . See the warranty book before using the vehicle for competitive driving. Notice: If you use your vehicle for competitive driving, the engine may use more oil than it would with normal use.
Driving and Operating 8-9 Hydroplaning Hydroplaning is dangerous. Water can build up under your vehicle's tires so they actually ride on the water . This can happen if the road is wet enough and you are going fast enough. When your vehicle is hydroplaning, it has little or no contact with the road.
8-10 Driving and Operating { 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.
Driving and Operating 8-1 1 Blizzard Conditions Being stuck in snow can be a serious situation. Stay with the vehicle unless there is help nearby . If possible, use the Roadside Service on page 12 ‑ 6 . T o get help and keep everyone in the vehicle safe: .
8-12 Driving and Operating Repeat this until help arrives but only when you feel really uncomfortable from the cold. Moving about to keep warm also helps. If it takes some time for help to arrive, now and then when you run the engine, push the accelerator pedal slightly so the engine runs faster than the idle speed.
Driving and Operating 8-13 T wo labels on the vehicle show how much weight it may properly carry , the T ire and Loading Information label and the Certification label. { W ARNING Do not load the vehicle any heavier than the Gross V ehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), or either the maximum front or rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).
8-14 Driving and Operating Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit 1.
