Assist Steps
If the vehicle has removable side steps, remove the
steps prior to off‐roading to provide more ground
clearance and to prevent damage to the vehicle from
the side steps dragging and/or catching on obstacles.
Notice: Do not drive off‐road with the side steps
attached to the vehicle. The side steps and/or the
vehicle's frame can be damaged if they get caught
or drag against an obstacle. This damage would not
be covered by the vehicle warranty. Always remove
the side steps prior to any off‐road driving.
Driving at Night
Night driving is more dangerous than day driving
because some drivers are likely to be impaired — by
alcohol or drugs, with night vision problems, or by
fatigue.
Night driving tips include:
.
Drive defensively.
.
Do not drink and drive.
.
Reduce headlamp glare by adjusting the inside
rearview mirror.
.
Slow down and keep more space between you and
other vehicles because headlamps can only light
up so much road ahead.
.
Watch for animals.
.
When tired, pull off the road.
.
Do not wear sunglasses.
.
Avoid staring directly into approaching headlamps.
.
Keep the windshield and all glass on your vehicle
clean — inside and out.
.
Keep your eyes moving, especially during turns or
curves.
No one can see as well at night as in the daytime. But,
as we get older, these differences increase.
A 50-year-old driver might need at least twice as much
light to see the same thing at night as a 20-year-old.
