Steering
Power Steering
If the vehicle is a Two!mode Hybrid, see the Two!modeHybrid manual for more information.
If power steering assist is lost because the engine stopsor the system is not functioning, the vehicle can besteered but it will take more effort.
Steering Tips
It is important to take curves at a reasonable speed.
Traction in a curve depends on the condition of the tiresand the road surface, the angle at which the curve isbanked, and vehicle speed. While in a curve, speed isthe one factor that can be controlled.
If there is a need to reduce speed, do it before enteringthe curve, while the front wheels are straight.
Try to adjust the speed so you can drive through thecurve. Maintain a reasonable, steady speed. Wait toaccelerate until out of the curve, and then accelerategently into the straightaway.
Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering can be more effectivethan braking. For example, you come over a hill andfind a truck stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly pullsout from nowhere, or a child darts out from betweenparked cars and stops right in front of you. Theseproblems can be avoided by braking—if you can stopin time. But sometimes you cannot stop in time becausethere is no room. That is the time for evasiveaction—steering around the problem.
The vehicle can perform very well in emergencieslike these. First, apply the brakes. SeeBrakingonp a g e 6!4. It is better to remove as much speed aspossible from a collision. Then steer around theproblem, to the left or right depending on thespace available.

Tow/Haul Mode
Pressing this button at the end of the shift lever turns onand off the tow/haul mode.
This indicator light on theinstrument panel clustercomes on when thetow/haul mode is on.
Tow/Haul is a feature that assists when pulling a heavytrailer or a large or heavy load. SeeTow/Haul Modeonpage 3!36for more information.
Tow/Haul is designed to be most effective when thevehicle and trailer combined weight is at least75 percent of the vehicle's Gross Combined WeightRating (GCWR). See“Weight of the Trailer”earlier inthe section. Tow/Haul is most useful under the followingdriving conditions:
.When pulling a heavy trailer or a large or heavyload through rolling terrain.
.When pulling a heavy trailer or a large or heavyload in stop and go traffic.
.When pulling a heavy trailer or a large or heavyload in busy parking lots where improved lowspeed control of the vehicle is desired.
Operating the vehicle in Tow/Haul when lightly loadedor with no trailer at all will not cause damage. However,there is no benefit to the selection of Tow/Haul when thevehicle is unloaded. Such a selection when unloadedmay result in unpleasant engine and transmissiondriving characteristics and reduced fuel economy.Tow/Haul is recommended only when pulling a heavytrailer or a large or heavy load.

Changing a Flat Tire
If your vehicle is a Two-mode Hybrid, see theTwo-mode Hybrid manual for more information.
If a tire goes flat, avoid further tire and wheel damageby driving slowly to a level place. Turn on the hazardwarning flashers. SeeHazard Warning Flashersonp a g e 4!3.
{WARNING:
Changing a tire can be dangerous. The vehicle
can slip off the jack and roll over or fall on you or
other people. You and they could be badly injured
or even killed. Find a level place to change your
tire. To help prevent the vehicle from moving:
1. Set the parking brake firmly.
2. Put the shift lever in P (Park).
(Continued)
WARNING: (Continued)
3. Turn off the engine and do not restart while
the vehicle is raised.
4. Do not allow passengers to remain in the
vehicle.
To be even more certain the vehicle will not move,
you should put blocks at the front and rear of the
tire farthest away from the one being changed.
That would be the tire, on the other side, at the
opposite end of the vehicle.
When the vehicle has a flat tire (B), use the followingexample as a guide to assist you in the placement ofwheel blocks (A).
