Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine car suddenly pulls out from nowhere, or a child darts out from between
parked cars and stops right in front of you. You can avoid these problems by
braking-if you can stop in time. But sometimes you can’t; there isn’t room.
That’s the time for evasive action-steering around the proble\
m.
Your vehicle can perform very well in emergencies like these. First apply your
brakes, but not enough to lock your front wheels.
It is better to remove as much speed as you can from a possible collision.
Then steer around the problem, to the left or right depending on the space
available.
KO444
An emergency like this requires close attention and a quick de\
cision. If you
are holding the steering wheel at the recommended
9 and 3 o’clock positions,
you can turn
it a full 180 degrees very quickly without removing either hand.
But you have to act fast, steer quickly, and just as quickly straighten the
wheel once you have avoided the object. You must then be prepared to steer
back to your original lane and then brake
to a controlled stop.
Depending on your speed, this can be rather violent for an un\
prepared driver.
This is one
of the reasons driving experts recommend that you use your
safety belts and keep both hands on the steering wheel.
The fact that such emergency situations are always possible
is a good reason
to practice defensive driving at
all times.
Off-Road Recovery
You may find sometime that your right wheels have dropped off the edge of
a road onto the shoulder while you’re driving.

Attach a flag to the vehicle to make you more visible to approaching
traffic on trails or hills.
Sound the horn as you approach the top of hill to let opposing traffic
know you’re there.
Use your headlights even during the day. They make you more v\
isible to
oncoming traffic.
* Drivilng to the top (crest) of a hill at full speed can cause an
I accident. There could be a drop-off, embankment, cliff, or even
another vehicle. You could be seriously injured or killed.
As you near
the
top of a hill, slow down and stay alert. I
Q: What should I do if my vehicle stalls, or is about to stall, and I can’t
make
it up the hill?
A: If this happens, there are some things you should do, and there are some
things you must not
do. First, here’s what you should do:
Push the brake pedal to stop the vehicle and keep it from rolling
backwards. Also, apply the parking brake.
If your engine is still running, shift the transmission into rever\
se, release
the parking brake, and slowly back down the hill in reverse.
If your engine has stopped running, you’ll need to restart it. With the
brake pedal depressed and the parking brake still applied, shift the
transmission
to P (Park) (or, shift to N (Neutral) if your vehicle has a
manual transmission) and restart the engine. Then, shift
to R (Reverse),
release the parking brake, and slowly back down the hill in reverse.
As you are backing down the hill, put your left hand on the \
steering
wheel at the
12 o’clock position. This way, you’ll be able to tell if your
wheels are straight or turned
to the left or right as you back down.
Here are some things you must not
do if you stall, or are about to stall,
when going up a hill.
Never attempt to prevent a stall by shifting into N (Neutral) (or
depressing the clutch,
if you have a manual transmission) to “rev-up” the
engine and regain forward momentum. This won’t work. Your vehicle will
roll backwards very quickly and you could go out of control.

Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened wheel nuts can cause
the wheel to become loose and even come
off. This could lead to
an accident. Be sure to use the correct wheel nuts. If you have to
replace them, be sure
to get the right kind.
Stop somewhere as soon as you can and have the nuts tightened
with
a torque wrench to 95 ft. Ibs. (1 30 N.m ).
Storing The Tire in The Underbody Carrier
Put the tire on the ground at the rear of the vehicle, with the valve stem
pointed down and to the rear.
Pull the retaining bar through the wheel. Put the chisel end
of the wheel
wrench, on an angle, through the hole in the rear bumper and into the hoist
shaft. Turn the wheel wrench clockwise until the tire is raised against the
underside of the vehicle.
You will hear two “clicks” when the tire is secure,
but pull on the tire to
make sure.

What to Do with Used Oil:
I A Used engine oil contains things that have caused skin cancer in
- laboratory animals. Don’t let used oil stay on your skin for very long.
Clean your skin and nails with soap and water,
or a good hand
cleaner. Wash or properly throw away clothing
or rags containing
I used engine oil. I
Used oil can be a real threat to the environment. If you change your own oil,
be sure to drain all free-flowing oil from the filter before disposal. Don’t ever \
dispose of oil by putting
it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into sewers,
or into streams or bodies of water. Instead, recycle it by taking it to a place
that collects used oil.
If you have a problem disposing of your used oil, ask
your dealer, a service station
or a local recycling center for help.
