Driving notes
123n
Brakes:
Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. Even light but consistent
pedal pressure can lead to high
temperatures, brake wear and possibly
even brake failure.
Aquaplaning:
When driving on wet or slushy roads,
reduce road speed. If you do not, a
wedge of water can form between tires
and road surface. This phenomenon is
referred to as aquaplaning or hydroplaning.
It is characterized by a partial
or complete loss of contact between
the tires and the road surface. The ultimate
results are loss of steering and
braking control.
Driving through water:
Do not drive through water more than
1 foot (30 cm) deep. In water of this
depth, drive only at walking speed, otherwise
damage to the engine, the electrical
system and the transmission can
occur.
Rear parcel tray:
Do not use the rear parcel tray to store
heavy or bulky objects. They could
pose a danger to the occupants during
braking maneuvers.
Clothes hooks:
Hang items of clothing from the hooks
so that they will not obstruct the driver's
vision. In order to avoid personal injuries
during braking maneuvers, do not
hang heavy objects on the hooks.<
