128STARTING AND DRIVING
DTo drive down a long or steep hill,
reduce your speed and downshift.
Remember, if you ride the brakes
excessively, they may overheat and
not work properly.
DBe careful when accelerating, up-
shifting, downshifting or braking on
a slippery surface. Sudden accelera-
tion or engine braking could cause
the vehicle to skid or spin.
DDo not continue normal driving
when the brakes are wet. If they are
wet, your vehicle will require a
longer stopping distance, and it
may pull to one side when the
brakes are applied. Also, the park-
ing brake will not hold the vehicle
securely.
NOTICE
zDo not depress the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time dur-
ing driving, as this may restrain
driving torque.
zDo not use the accelerator pedal or
depress the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time to hold the
vehicle on a hill.
Driving on a slippery road surface
Drive carefully when it is raining, because
visibility will be reduced, the windows may
become fogged−up, and the road will be
slippery.
DDrive carefully when it starts to rain,
because the road surface will be espe-
cially slippery.
DRefrain from high speeds when driving
on an expressway in the rain, because
there may be a layer of water between
the tires and the road surface,
preventing the steering and brakes
from operating properly.
CAUTION
DSudden braking, acceleration and
steering when driving on a slippery
road surface may cause tire slip-
page and reduce your ability to
control the vehicle, resulting in an
accident.
DSudden changes in engine speed,
such as sudden engine braking,
may cause the vehicle to skid, re-
sulting in an accident.
DAfter driving through a puddle,
lightly depress the brake pedal to
make sure that the brakes are func-
tioning properly. Wet brake pads
may prevent the brakes from func-
tioning properly. If the brakes on
only one side are wet and not func-
tioning properly, steering control
may be affected, resulting in an ac-
cident.

CAUTION
DWhen lowering the vehicle, make
sure all portions of your body and
all other persons around will not be
injured as the vehicle is lowered to
the ground.
DHave the wheel nuts tightened with
torque wrench to the following
torques, as soon as possible after
changing wheels. Otherwise, the
nuts may loosen and the wheels
may fall off, which could cause a
serious accident.

10. Reinstall the wheel ornament.
To reinstall the wheel ornament, tighten
the bolts by turning them clockwise with
the open−end wrench.
CAUTION
Take due care in handling the orna-
ment to avoid unexpected serious in-
jury.

162IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
11. Check the air pressure of the re-
placed tire.
Adjust the air pressure to the specification
designated on page 218 in Section 8. If
the pressure is lower, drive slowly to the
nearest service station and fill to the cor-
rect pressure.
Do not forget to reinstall the tire inflation
valve cap as dirt and moisture could get
into the valve core and possibly cause air
leakage. If the cap is missing, have a new
one put on as soon as possible.
12. Restow all the tools, jack and flat
tire securely.
Front and single rear tires—
As soon after changing wheels as pos-
sible, tighten the wheel nuts to the torque
specified on page 218 in Section 8 with
a torque wrench. Have a technician repair
the flat tire.
Double rear tires—
As soon after changing wheels as pos-
sible, tighten the stop bolts and wheel
nuts to the torque specified on page 218
in Section 8 with a torque wrench. Have
a technician repair the flat tire.
This is the same procedure for changing
or rotating your tires.
CAUTION
Before driving, make sure all the
tools, jack and flat tire are securely
in place in their storage location to
reduce the possibility of death or se-
rious injury during sudden braking,
sudden swerving or an accident.
If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow,
mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt
to rock the vehicle free by moving it
forward and backward.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to rock the vehicle
free by moving it forward and back-
ward if people or objects are any-
where near the vehicle. During the
rocking operation the vehicle may
suddenly move forward or backward
as it becomes unstuck, causing injury
or damage to nearby people or ob-
jects.
NOTICE
If you rock your vehicle, observe the
following precautions to prevent dam-
age to the transmission and other
parts.
zDo not race the engine and avoid
spinning the wheels.
zIf your vehicle remains stuck after
rocking the vehicle several times,
consider other ways such as tow-
ing.
