Brakes:<br />
Do not drive with your foot resting<br />
on <strong>the</strong> brake pedal. Even light but consistent<br />
pedal pressure can lead to high<br />
temperatures, brake wear and possibly<br />
even brake failure.<br />
Aquaplaning:<br />
When driving on wet or slushy roads,<br />
reduce road speed. If you do not, a<br />
wedge of water can <strong>for</strong>m between tires<br />
and road surface. This phenomenon is<br />
referred to as aquaplaning or hydroplaning.<br />
It is characterized by a partial<br />
or complete loss of contact between<br />
<strong>the</strong> tires and <strong>the</strong> road surface. The ultimate<br />
results are loss of steering and<br />
braking control.<br />
Driving through water:<br />
Do not drive through water more than<br />
1 foot (30 cm) deep. In water of this<br />
depth, drive only at walking speed, o<strong>the</strong>rwise<br />
damage to <strong>the</strong> engine, <strong>the</strong> electrical<br />
system and <strong>the</strong> transmission can<br />
occur.<br />
Rear parcel tray:<br />
Do not use <strong>the</strong> rear parcel tray to store<br />
heavy or bulky objects. They could<br />
pose a danger to <strong>the</strong> occupants during<br />
braking maneuvers.<br />

Hang items of clothing from <strong>the</strong> hooks<br />
so that <strong>the</strong>y will not obstruct <strong>the</strong> driver's<br />
vision. In order to avoid personal injuries<br />
during braking maneuvers, do not<br />
hang heavy objects on <strong>the</strong> hooks.<<br />
