Driving your vehicle
225
Automatic transmission
僅 The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of your
vehicle at highway speeds.
僅 Loss of control often occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway
and the driver oversteers to reenter
the roadway.
僅 In the event your vehicle leaves the
roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the travel lanes.
僅 Never exceed posted speed limits.
If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow,
mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt
to rock the vehicle free by moving it for
-
ward and backward. Do not attempt this
procedure if people or objects are any
-
where near the vehicle. During the rock
-
ing operation the vehicle may suddenly
move forward of backward as it
becomes unstuck, causing injury or
damage to nearby people or objects.
Moving up a steep grade from a
standing start
To move up a steep grade from a stand
-
ing start, depress the brake pedal, shift
the shift lever to D (Drive). Depending on
load weight and steepness of grade,
release the parking brake and depress
the accelerator gradually whilst releas
-
ing the service brakes.
When accelerating from a stop on a
steep hill, the vehicle may have a ten
-
dency to roll backwards.
When you start driving after the car was
stopped on a hill, even though the shift
lever is in D (Driving) position, if you do
not step on the accelerator pedal or
brake pedal, the car may roll backward,
resulting in a fatal accident.
Always come to a complete stop before
shifting into D (Drive).
