Do not swing wide or cross the center line. Be alert on top of hills; something could be in your lane e. Pay attention to special road signs e. Winter Driving Driving on Snow or Ice Snow or ice between the tires and the road creates less traction or grip, so drive carefully.
Avoid driving on wet ice or in freezing rain until roads can be treated. For Slippery Road Driving:. Accelerate gently.
Accelerating too quickly causes the wheels to spin and makes the surface under the tires slick. Turn on Traction Control. Antilock Brake System ABS improves vehicle stability during hard stops, but the brakes should be applied sooner than when on dry pavement. Allow greater following distance and watch for slippery spots. The surface of a curve or an overpass can remain icy when the surrounding roads are clear. Avoid sudden steering maneuvers and braking while on ice.
Turn off cruise control. Blizzard Conditions Stop the vehicle in a safe place and signal for help. Stay with the vehicle unless there is help nearby. Get help and keep everyone in the vehicle safe:. Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
Tie a red cloth to an outside mirror. This may cause exhaust gases to get inside. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide CO , which cannot be seen or smelled. It can cause unconsciousness and even death. If the vehicle is stuck in snow:. Clear snow from the base of the vehicle, especially any blocking the exhaust pipe. Open a window about 5 cm 2 in on the vehicle side that is away from the wind, to bring in fresh air.
Fully open the air outlets on or under the instrument panel. Adjust the climate control system to circulate the air inside the vehicle and set Continued Warning Continued the fan speed to the highest setting. To save fuel, run the engine for short periods to warm the vehicle and then shut the engine off and partially close the window.
Moving about to keep warm also helps. If it takes time for help to arrive, when running the engine, push the accelerator pedal slightly so the engine runs faster than the idle speed. This keeps the battery charged to restart the vehicle and to signal for help with the headlamps. Do this as little as possible, to save fuel. If the Vehicle Is Stuck Slowly and cautiously spin the wheels to free the vehicle when stuck in sand, mud, ice, or snow.
The vehicle can overheat, causing an engine compartment fire or other damage. Rocking the Vehicle to Get it Out Turn the steering wheel left and right to clear the area around the front wheels. Turn off any traction system. Shift back and forth between R Reverse and a low forward gear, spinning the wheels as little as possible. To prevent transmission wear, wait until the wheels stop spinning before shifting gears. Release the accelerator pedal while shifting, and press lightly on the accelerator pedal when the transmission is in gear.
Slowly spinning the wheels in the forward and reverse directions causes a rocking motion that could free the vehicle. If that does not get the vehicle out after a few tries, it might need to be towed out. If the vehicle does need to be towed out, see Towing the Vehicle Vehicle Load Limits It is very important to know how much weight the vehicle can carry. This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight and includes the weight of all occupants, cargo, and all nonfactory-installed options.
This can cause systems to break and change the way the vehicle handles. This could cause loss of control and a crash. Overloading can also reduce stopping distance, damage the tires, and shorten the life of the vehicle. To exit, pull back on the shiftlever a second time. The D in the shift pattern will illuminate in red, and the M will switch to white. With the transmission in D Drive and not in Permanent Tap Shift Mode, the Tap Shift controls will activate a temporary tap manual shift mode, allowing the transmission to be manually shifted.
Automatic shifts return after no manual shifts have been done for seven to 10 seconds. The Temporary Tap Shift Mode can also be deactivated by holding the right upshift control briefly.
While using Tap Shift, the vehicle will have firmer, quicker shifting. This can be used for sport driving or when climbing or descending hills, to stay in gear longer, or to downshift for more power or engine braking. The transmission will only allow shifting into gears appropriate for the vehicle speed and engine revolutions per minute rpm. The transmission will not automatically shift to the next lower gear if the engine rpm is too high, nor to the next higher gear when the maximum engine rpm is reached.
