DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
4-44TEMPERATURE CONTROL
KNOBThe temperature control knob (C) is the
round knob closest to the passenger side
of the ventilation control panel. To
change the air temperature in the
passenger compartment, turn the knob
either clockwise for warm to hot air or
counterclockwise for cooler air.
AIR INTAKE
CONTROL SWITCHThis is used to select fresh outside air or
recirculation inside air.
RECIRCULATED AIR
POSITION When the air intake control
switch is depressed (switch indicator
illuminates), almost all outside air flow
into the vehicle is shut off and air inside
the vehicle is recirculated.
This position can be used temporarily for
maximum heating or cooling (if
equipped with air conditioning ) and to
help prevent undesirable outside air flow
into the vehicle.
WARNING
• Continued climate control
system operation in the
recirculated air position may
allow humidity to increase
inside the vehicle which may
fog the glass and obscure
visibility.
Don’t sleep in a vehicle with
the air conditioning system
on. This could cause serious
harm or death to passengers
due to the depletion of
oxygen and lowering of body
temperature.

DRIVING TIPS
5-4 Do not operate the vehicle when
there are signs of engine malfunction,
such as misfire or a noticeable loss of
performance.
Do not misuse or abuse the engine.
Examples of misuse are coasting
with the ignition off and descending
steep grades in gear with the ignition
off.
Do not operate the engine at high idle
speed for extended periods (5
minutes or more).
Do not modify or tamper with any
part of the engine or emission control
system. All inspections and
adjustments must be made by a
qualified technician.
Failure to observe the above precautions
could result in damage to the catalytic
converter and to your vehicle and could
void your warranties.
BEFORE DRIVINGBefore entering vehicle:
Be sure that all windows, outside
mirror(s), and outside lights are clean.
Check the condition of the tires.
Check under the vehicle for any sign
of leaks.
Be sure there are no obstacles behind
you if you intend to back up.NECESSARY
INSPECTIONSFluid levels, such as engine oil, engine
coolant, brake/clutch fluid, and washer
fluid should be checked on a regular
basis, with the exact interval depending
on the fluid. Further details are provided
in Maintenance, Section 7.
BEFORE STARTING Close and lock all doors.
Position the seat so that all controls
are easily reached.
Adjust the inside and outside
rearview mirrors.
Be sure that all lights work.
Check all gauges.
Check the operation of warning
lights when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position.
Release the parking brake and make
sure the brake warning light goes out.
For safe operation, be sure you are
familiar with your vehicle and its
equipment.

SPECIAL DRIVING
CONDITIONSHAZARDOUS DRIVINGWhen hazardous driving is encountered
because of water, snow, ice, mud, sand, or
similar hazard, follow these suggestions:
Drive cautiously and allow extra
distance for braking.
Avoid sudden movements in braking
or steering.
When braking in vehicles without
anti-lock brakes, depress the brake
pedal with a controlled up-and- down
motion until the vehicle is stopped.
When starting from a stop in snow,
mud, or sand, use second gear and
accelerate slowly to avoid spinning
the front wheels. Low gear may be
used, if necessary.
Use sand, rock salt, tire chains, or
other non-slip material under the
front wheels to provide traction when
stalled on ice, snow, or mud.
ROCKING THE VEHICLEIf it is necessary to rock the vehicle to
free it from snow, sand, or mud, move
the shift lever of an automatic transaxle
from D (Drive) to R (Reverse) in a
repeat pattern while depressing the
accelerator gently. With a manual
transaxle, move the shift lever back and
forth from 1 (First) to R (Reverse).
Do not race the engine. If you are still
stuck after a couple minutes of rocking,
have the vehicle pulled out by a tow
vehicle to avoid engine overheating and
possible damage to the transaxle.
5-7
WARNING -
Downshifting
Downshifting into first gear with
a manual transaxle or into low
with an automatic transaxle
while driving on slippery
surfaces can cause an
accident. The sudden change in
tire speed could cause the tires
to skid. Be careful when
downshifting on slippery
surfaces.
✻
NOTICE
Prolonged rocking may cause
engine overheating, transaxle
damage or failure, and tire
damage.

5-9
If you believe you may have gottenyour brakes wet, apply them lightly
while driving until normal braking
operation returns.WINTER DRIVING We recommend that you carryemergency equipment. Some things
you might include are tire chains, a
window scraper, windshield de-icer,
a bag of sand or salt, flares, a small
shovel and jumper cables.
Make sure you have sufficient ethylene glycol coolant in the
radiator.
Check the battery condition and cables. Cold temperatures reduce the
capacity of any battery, so it must be
in top shape to provide enough
winter starting power.
Make sure the engine oil viscosity is suitable for cold weather.
Check the ignition system for loose connections and damage. Use antifreeze-formulated windshield
washer fluid and make sure you have
sufficient fluid for your trip. (Do not
use engine coolant antifreeze.)
Do not use the parking brake if it might freeze. This is most likely to
happen after driving in slushy or wet
conditions and temperatures drop into
the freezing range. When parking,
shift to P (Park) with automatic
transaxle, or to 1 (First) or R
(Reverse) with a manual transaxle
and block the rear wheels.
SNOW TIRESWhen snow tires are used, select the size
and construction specified on the Tire
Pressure Label. It is strongly
recommended that snow tires be used on
all four wheels, or poor handling may
result. Snow tires should not be operated
at speeds exceeding 120 km/h (75 mph).
These tires should be inflated 4 psi (28
kPa, 0.3 kg/cm
2) above the recommended pressures shown on the Tire
Specification/Pressure Label, but inflation
should never exceed the maximum cold-
tire pressure shown on the tire sidewalls.
Do not install studded tires without first
checking local, provincial and municipal
regulations for possible restrictions
against their use.
WARNING - Snow Tire
Size
Snow tires should be
equivalent in size and type to
the vehicle’s standard tires.
Otherwise, the safety and
handling of your vehicle may be
adversely affected.

DRIVING TIPS
5-10TIRE CHAINSTire Chain SelectionRegulations regarding the use of tire
chains vary according to location or type
of road, so always check them before
installing chains.
Use only SAE Class “S” tire chains.
Chains must be the proper size for the
vehicle, as recommended by the chain
manufacturer.CHAIN INSTALLATIONWhen installing chains on your tires,
carefully follow the instructions of the
chain manufacturer.
The chain bands will scratch the wheel
covers. Remove the covers before
installing the chains.Install the chains on the front tires as
tightly as possible. The use of chains on
the rear tires is not recommended.
Retighten the chains after driving 0.5-1.0
km (1/4-1/2 mile).
Driving in Flooded AreasAvoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no higher
than the bottom of the wheel rims. Drive
through any water slowly. Allow
adequate stopping distance because
brake performance may be affected.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them several
times while the vehicle is moving slowly.
WARNING - Tire Chains
The use of chains may
adversely affect vehicle
handling.
Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/
h) or the chain manufacturer’s
recommended speed limit,
whichever is lower.
Drive carefully and avoid
bumps, holes, sharp turns
and other road hazards,
which may cause the vehicle
to bounce.
Avoid sharp turns or locked
wheel braking.
Do not attempt to use a tire
chain on the temporary spare
tire because it may impair
vehicle handling and result in
damage to the vehicle and the
tire.
