Driving Information

Distracted Driving

Distraction comes in many forms
and can take your focus from the
task of driving. Exercise good
judgment and do not let other
activities divert your attention away
from the road. Many local
governments have enacted laws
regarding driver distraction. Become
familiar with the local laws in
your area.

To avoid distracted driving, keep
your eyes on the road, keep your
hands on the steering wheel, and
focus your attention on driving.
.

Do not use a phone in
demanding driving situations.
Use a hands-free method to
place or receive necessary
phone calls.

Watch the road. Do not read,
take notes, or look up
information on phones or other
electronic devices.

Designate a front seat
passenger to handle potential
distractions.

Become familiar with vehicle
features before driving, such as
programming favorite radio
stations and adjusting climate
control and seat settings.
Program all trip information into
any navigation device prior to
driving.

Wait until the vehicle is parked
to retrieve items that have fallen
to the floor.

Stop or park the vehicle to tend
to children.

Keep pets in an appropriate
carrier or restraint.

Avoid stressful conversations
while driving, whether with a
passenger or on a cell phone.

{

Warning

Taking your eyes off the road too
long or too often could cause a
crash resulting in injury or death.
Focus your attention on driving.

Refer to the infotainment manual for
more information on using that
system, including pairing and using
a cell phone

Defensive Driving

Defensive driving means “always
expect the unexpected.” The first
step in driving defensively is to wear
the safety belt. See Safety
Belts 0 57.
.

Assume that other road users
(pedestrians, bicyclists, and
other drivers) are going to be
careless and make mistakes.
Anticipate what they might do
and be ready.

Allow enough following distance
between you and the driver in
front of you.

Focus on the task of driving.

Driving and Operating

Drunk Driving

Death and injury associated with
drinking and driving is a global
tragedy.

{

Warning

Drinking and then driving is very
dangerous. Your reflexes,
perceptions, attentiveness, and
judgment can be affected by even
a small amount of alcohol. You
can have a serious — or even
fatal — collision if you drive after
drinking.

Do not drink and drive or ride with
a driver who has been drinking.
Ride home in a cab; or if you are
with a group, designate a driver
who will not drink.

Control of a Vehicle

Braking, steering, and accelerating
are important factors in helping to
control a vehicle while driving.

Braking

Braking action involves perception
time and reaction time. Deciding to
push the brake pedal is perception
time. Actually doing it is
reaction time.

Average driver reaction time is
about three-quarters of a second. In
that time, a vehicle moving at
100 km/h (60 mph) travels 20 m
(66 ft), which could be a lot of
distance in an emergency.

Helpful braking tips to keep in mind
include:
.

Keep enough distance between
you and the vehicle in front
of you.

Avoid needless heavy braking.

Keep pace with traffic.

If the engine ever stops while the
vehicle is being driven, brake
normally but do not pump the
brakes. Doing so could make the
pedal harder to push down. If the
engine stops, there will be some
power brake assist but it will be
used when the brake is applied.

Once the power assist is used up, it
can take longer to stop and the
brake pedal will be harder to push.

Steering

Electric Power Steering

The vehicle has electric power
steering. It does not have power
steering fluid. Regular maintenance
is not required.

If power steering assist is lost due
to a system malfunction, the vehicle
can be steered, but may require
increased effort. See your dealer if
there is a problem.

If the steering wheel is turned until it
reaches the end of its travel and is
held against that position for an
extended period of time, power
steering assist may be reduced.

If the steering assist is used for an
extended period of time, power
assist may be reduced.

Normal use of the power steering
assist should return when the
system cools down.

See your dealer if there is a
problem.

Curve Tips

Take curves at a reasonable
speed.

Reduce speed before entering a
curve.

Maintain a reasonable steady
speed through the curve.

Wait until the vehicle is out of
the curve before accelerating
gently into the straightaway.

Steering in Emergencies

There are some situations when
steering around a problem may
be more effective than braking.

Holding both sides of the
steering wheel allows you to turn
180 degrees without removing
a hand.

The Antilock Brake System
(ABS) allows steering while
braking.

Off-Road Recovery

The vehicle's right wheels can drop
off the edge of a road onto the
shoulder while driving. Follow
these tips:

1. Ease off the accelerator and

then, if there is nothing in the
way, steer the vehicle so that it
straddles the edge of the
pavement.

2. Turn the steering wheel about

one-eighth of a turn, until the
right front tire contacts the
pavement edge.

3. Turn the steering wheel to go

straight down the roadway.

Loss of Control

Skidding

There are three types of skids that
correspond to the vehicle's three
control systems:
.

Braking Skid — wheels are not
rolling.

Steering or Cornering Skid —
too much speed or steering in a
curve causes tires to slip and
lose cornering force.

Acceleration Skid — too much
throttle causes the driving
wheels to spin.

Defensive drivers avoid most skids
by taking reasonable care suited to
existing conditions, and by not
overdriving those conditions. But
skids are always possible.

If the vehicle starts to slide, follow
these suggestions:
.

Ease your foot off the
accelerator pedal and steer the
way you want the vehicle to go.

180

Driving and Operating

The vehicle may straighten out.
Be ready for a second skid if it
occurs.

Slow down and adjust your
driving according to weather
conditions. Stopping distance
can be longer and vehicle
control can be affected when
traction is reduced by water,
snow, ice, gravel, or other
material on the road. Learn to
recognize warning clues — such
as enough water, ice, or packed
snow on the road to make a
mirrored surface — and slow
down when you have any doubt.

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.

Remember: Antilock brakes help
avoid only the braking skid.

Driving on Wet Roads

Rain and wet roads can reduce
vehicle traction and affect your
ability to stop and accelerate.

Always drive slower in these types
of driving conditions and avoid
driving through large puddles and
deep-standing or flowing water.

{

Warning

Wet brakes can cause crashes.
They might not work as well in a
quick stop and could cause
pulling to one side. You could
lose control of the vehicle.

After driving through a large
puddle of water or a car/vehicle
wash, lightly apply the brake
pedal until the brakes work
normally.

Flowing or rushing water creates
strong forces. Driving through
flowing water could cause the
vehicle to be carried away. If this
happens, you and other vehicle
occupants could drown. Do not
ignore police warnings and be
very cautious about trying to drive
through flowing water.

Hydroplaning

Hydroplaning is dangerous. Water
can build up under the 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 the vehicle is
hydroplaning, it has little or no
contact with the road.

There is no hard and fast rule about
hydroplaning. The best advice is to
slow down when the road is wet.

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.

Have good tires with proper
tread depth. See Tires 0 258.

Turn off cruise control.

Hill and Mountain Roads

Driving on steep hills or through
mountains is different than driving
on flat or rolling terrain. Tips include:
.

Keep the vehicle serviced and in
good shape.

Check all fluid levels and brakes,
tires, cooling system, and
transmission.

Shift to a lower gear when going
down steep or long hills.

{

Warning

Using the brakes to slow the
vehicle on a long downhill slope
can cause brake overheating, can
reduce brake performance, and
could result in a loss of braking.
Shift the transmission to a lower
gear to let the engine assist the
brakes on a steep downhill slope.

{

Warning

Coasting downhill in N (Neutral)
or with the ignition off is
dangerous. This can cause
overheating of the brakes and
loss of steering. Always have the
engine running and the vehicle
in gear.

Drive at speeds that keep the
vehicle in its own lane. Do not
swing wide or cross the
center line.

Be alert on top of hills;
something could be in your lane
(e.g., stalled car, accident).

Pay attention to special road
signs (e.g., falling rocks area,
winding roads, long grades,
passing or no-passing zones)
and take appropriate action.

Winter Driving

Driving on Snow or Ice

Snow or ice between the tires and
the road creates less traction or
grip, so drive carefully. Wet ice can
occur at about 0 °C (32 °F) when
freezing rain begins to fall. Avoid
driving on wet ice or in freezing rain
until roads can be treated.

For Slippery Road Driving:
.

Accelerate gently. Accelerating
too quickly causes the wheels to
spin and makes the surface
under the tires slick.

Turn on Traction Control. See
Traction Control/Electronic
Stability Control 0 203.

The Antilock Brake System
