Driving
Information
Driver Behavior
Driving is an important
responsibility. Driver behavior,
the driving environment, and
the vehicle's design all affect
how well a vehicle performs.
Being aware of these factors
can help in understanding how
the vehicle handles and what
can be done to avoid many
types of crashes, including a
rollover crash.
Most serious injuries and
fatalities to unbelted
occupants can be reduced or
prevented by the use of seat
belts. In a rollover crash, an
unbelted person is
significantly more likely to die
than a person wearing a seat
belt. In addition, avoiding
excessive speed, sudden or
abrupt turns, impaired driving,

16412876) - 2023 - CRC - 3/25/22
Driving and Operating 229
and aggressive driving can
help make trips safer and
avoid the possibility of a crash.
Driving Environment
Be prepared for driving in
inclement weather, at night,
or during other times where
visibility or traction may be
limited, such as on curves,
slippery roads, or hilly terrain.
Unfamiliar surroundings can
also have hidden hazards.
Vehicle Design
Utility vehicles have a
significantly higher rollover
rate than other types of
vehicles. This is because they
have a higher ground
clearance and a narrower
track or shorter wheelbase
than passenger cars, which
makes them more capable for
off-road driving. While these
design characteristics provide
the driver with a better view
of the road, these vehicles do
have a higher center of gravity
than other types of vehicles.A utility vehicle does not
handle the same as a vehicle
with a lower center of gravity,
like a car, in similar situations.
Safe driver behavior and
understanding of the
environment can help avoid a
rollover crash in any type of
vehicle, including utility
vehicles.
Driving for Better
Fuel Economy
Driving habits can affect fuel
mileage. Here are some driving
tips to get the best fuel
economy possible.
.Set the climate controls to
the desired temperature
after the engine is started,
or turn them off when not
required.
.On AWD vehicles, use Tour
Mode when conditions
permit.
.Avoid fast starts and
accelerate smoothly.
.Brake gradually and avoid
abrupt stops.
.Avoid idling the engine for
long periods of time.
.When road and weather
conditions are appropriate,
use cruise control.
.Always follow posted speed
limits or drive more slowly
when conditions require.
.Keep vehicle tires properly
inflated.
.Combine several trips into a
single trip.
.Replace the vehicle's tires
with the same TPC Spec
number molded into the
tire's sidewall near the size.
.Follow recommended
scheduled maintenance.
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

16412876) - 2023 - CRC - 3/25/22
238 Driving and Operating
or under the hood. These
accumulations can be a fire
hazard.
After operation in mud or
sand, have the brake linings
cleaned and checked. These
substances can cause glazing
and uneven braking. Check the
body structure, steering,
suspension, wheels, tires, and
exhaust system for damage
and check the fuel lines and
cooling system for any
leakage.
More frequent maintenance
service is required. See
Maintenance Schedule0425.
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 0364.

Warning (Continued)
.Reduced fuel economy
for internal combustion
engine vehicles
.Reduced range for
electric vehicles
Overinflated tires, or tires
that have too much air,
can result in:
.Unusual wear
.Poor handling
.Rough ride
.Needless damage from
road hazards
The Tire and Loading
Information label on the
vehicle indicates the
original equipment tires
and the correct cold tire
inflation pressures. The recommended pressure is
the minimum air pressure
needed to support the
vehicle's maximum load
carrying capacity. See
Vehicle Load Limits
0242.
How the vehicle is loaded
affects vehicle handling
and ride comfort. Never
load the vehicle with more
weight than it was
designed to carry.
When to Check
Check the pressure of the
tires once a month or more.
Do not forget the spare,
if the vehicle has one. The
compact spare cold tire
pressure should be at
420 kPa (60 psi). See
Compact Spare Tire 0404. How to Check
Use a good quality
pocket-type gauge to
check tire pressure. Proper
tire inflation cannot be
determined by looking at
the tire. Check the tire
inflation pressure when the
tires are cold, meaning the
vehicle has not been driven
for at least three hours or
no more than 1.6 km (1 mi).
Remove the valve cap from
the tire valve stem. Press
the tire gauge firmly onto
the valve to get a pressure
measurement. If the cold
tire inflation pressure
matches the recommended
pressure on the Tire and
Loading Information label,
no further adjustment is
necessary. If the inflation
