When travelling in wet or slippery
conditions, use care when accelerating
and braking. After driving through deep
water (over 5 cm’s deep) gently apply the
brakes whilst moving to dry them.
When travelling downhill, take extra care
not to use the brakes too much. Excessive
use can cause the fluid to boil and
become ineffective. If possible use the
engine brake to keep the speed at a steady
pace.

Vehicles fitted with automatic transmission are easier to drive for there is no need
for gear changes or clutch operation. But you must learn the techniques related to its

creep forward even when the accelerator is not pressed.
2. When stationary, even on level ground, apply the foot brake to prevent the
vehicle moving.
3. If the air conditioner is operating the engine will be idling faster than normal and
may cause the vehicle movement to be greater.
