One of the biggest problems with city streets is the amount of traffic on
them. You’ll want to watch out for what the other drivers are doing and
pay attention to traffic signals.
Here are ways to increase your safety in city driving:

Know the best way to get to where you are going. Get a city map and
plan your trip into an unknown part
of the city just as you would for a
cross-country trip.
Try
to use the freeways that rim and crisscross most large cities. You’ll
save time and energy. (See the next section, “Freeway Driving.”) 7-
Treat a green light as a warning signal. A traffic light is there because
the comer is busy enough to need it. When a light turns green, and
just before you start to move, check both ways
for vehicles that have
not cleared the intersection or may be running the red light.

you will be driving under severe conditions, include a small bag of sand, a
piece
of old carpet or a couple of burlap bags, to help provide traction. Be
sure you properly secure these items in your vehicle..

Although the compact spare was fully inflated when your vehicle was
new, it can lose air after a time. Check the inflation pressure regularly.
It
should be 60 psi (420 kPa). The compact spare is made to go up to 3,000
miles (5000 km), so you can finish your trip and have your full-size tire
repaired or replaced where you want. Of course, it’s best to replace your
spare with a full-size tire as
soon as you can. Your spare will last longer
and be
in good shape in case you need it again.
Your anti-lock brake system warning light may come on when you are
driving with a compact spare. See “Anti-Lock Brake System Wa\
rning
Light”
in the Index.
r
NOTICE: -
Don’t take your compact spare through an automatic car wash
with guide rails. The compact spare can get caught on the rai\
ls.
That can damage the tire and wheel, and maybe other parts
of
your vehicle.
Don’t use your compact spare on some other vehicle.
And don’t mix your compact spare or wheel with other wheels or tires.
They won’t fit. Keep your spare and its wheel together.
