TIPS ON SAFE AND SMOOTH OPERATION
4. During high-speed driving, even a
little turn of the steering wheel causes
a big movement of the vehicle. Turn
the steering wheel slowly.
NOTE
[Brake fade]
Frequent use of the brakes can
cause the brakes to overheat so
that the frictional force of the friction
surfaces decreases and the brakes
become less effective than normal.
This phenomenon is called brake
fade.

6. When you wish to turn off a highway,
use the turn signal to indicate your
intentions ahead of time. Paying
attention to vehicles behind you, turn
off the highway smoothly so as not to
obstruct other vehicles.
5. Excessive use of the brake pedal
is extremely dangerous because it
rapidly wears the brake linings and
causes brake fade. Make effective use
of the engine brake and the exhaust
brake when you wish to decelerate.
