1994 CHEVROLET TRACKER night vision

Your Driving and the Road
long as your tailpipe is under water, you'll
never be able to
start your engine. When
you go through water, remember that
when your brakes get wet, it may take
you longer to stop.
After Off-Road Driving
Remove any brush or debris that has
collected
on the underbody, chassis or
under the hood. These accumulations can
be a fire hazard.
After operation in mud or sand, have the
brake linings cleaned and checked. These
substances can cause glazing and uneven
braking. Check the body structure,
steering, suspension, wheels, tires, and exhaust system
for damage.
Also, check
the fuel lines and cooling system for any
leakage.
Your vehicle will require more frequent
service due to off-road
use. Refer to the
Maintenance Schedule for additional
information.
4 Driving at Night
Night driving is more dangerous than day
driving. One reason is that some drivers
are likely
to be impaired - by alcohol or
drugs, with night vision problems, or by
fatigue.
Here are some tips on night driving.
Drive defensively.
Don't drink and drive.
Adjust your inside rearview mirror to
reduce the glare from headlights
behind you.
Since you can't see as well,
you may
need to slow down and keep more space between
you and other vehicles.

Slow down, especially on higher
speed roads. Your headlights can light
up
only so much road ahead.
0 In remote areas. watch for animals.
0 If you're tired, pull off the road in a
safe place md rest.
Night Vision
No one can see 11s well at night as in the
daytime.
But as we get older these
differences increase. A SO-year-old driver
may require at least twice as much
light to
see the same thing
a( night :is a
20-year-old.
What you do
in the daytime can also
affect your night vision. For example.
if
you spend the day in bright sunshine you
are wise
to wear sunglasses. Your eyes
will have less trouble adjusting
to night.
But
if you're driving, don't wear
sunglasses at night. They may cut down
on glare from headlights. but they also
make
a lot of things invisible.
You can be temporarily blinded by
approaching lights. It c;tn take a second or
two,
or even several seconds, for your
eyes
to readjust to the dark. When you are
ked with severe glare
(as from a driver
who doesn't lower the high beams. or a vehicle with Inisaimed headlights), slow.
down
a little. Avoid staring directly into
the approaching lights.
Keep your windshield and
all the glass on
your vehicle clean - inside and out.
Glare
at night is nladc much worse by dirt
on the glass. Even the inside of the glass
can build up a film caused by dust. Dirty
glass makes lights dazzle and flash more
than clean
glass would. making the pupils
of
your eyes contract repeatedly.
Remember that your hcacilights light
up
far less of' LI roadway when you are in a
turn or curve.
Kecp your eycs moving: that way,
it's
casier to pick out dimly lighted objects.
Just
as your headlights should be checked
regularly for proper aim.
so should your
eyes be examined regulurly.
Some drivers
suffer from night blindness
- the
inability to see
in dim light - and aren't
even aware
of it.
Driving in the Rain
Rain and wet roads can mean driving
trouble. On
a wet road you can't stop,
accelerate
or turn as well because your
tire-to-road traction isn't as good as on
dry roads. And,
if your tires don't have
much tread left, you'll get even less
traction.
It's always wise to go slower and
be cautious if
rain starts to fall while you
are driving. The surface may get wet
suddenly when your reflexes are tuned for
driving
on dry pavement.
The heavier the rain. the harder
it is to
see. Even if your windshield wiper blades
are
in good shape. a heavy rain can make
it harder to see road signs and traffic
signals, pavement markings,
the edge of
the road, and even people walking.
