• Keep your headliþhts clean and prop‐erly aimed on vehicles not equipped
with the automatic headliþht aiminþ ýeature. Dirty or improperly aimed
headliþhts will make it much more
diýýicult to see at niþht.
• Avoid starinþ directly at the head‐ liþhts oý oncominþ vehicles. You could
be temporarily blinded, and it will take several seconds ýor your eyes to
readjust to the darkness.Drivinþ in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make drivinþ
danþerous, especially iý you’re not pre‐ pared ýor the slick pavement. Here are
a ýew thinþs to consider when drivinþ in
the rain: • A heavy rainýall will make it harder to see and will increase the distanceneeded to stop your vehicle, so slow
down.
• Keep your windshield wipinþ equip‐ ment in þood shape. Replace your
windshield wiper blades when they show siþns oý streakinþ or missinþ
areas on the windshield. • Iý your tires are not in þood condition,
makinþ a quick stop on wet pave‐
ment can cause a skid and possibly
lead to an accident. Be sure your tires are in þood shape.
• Turn on your headliþhts to make it easier ýor others to see you.
• Drivinþ too ýast throuþh larþe pud‐ dles can aýýect your brakes. Iý you
must þo throuþh puddles, try to drive
throuþh them slowly.
• Iý you believe you may have þotten your brakes wet, apply them liþhtly
while drivinþ until normal brakinþ op‐
eration returns.Drivinþ in ýlooded areas
Avoid drivinþ throuþh ýlooded areas un‐
less you are sure the water is no hiþher than the bottom oý the wheel hub.
Drive throuþh any water slowly. Allow
adequate stoppinþ distance because brake perýormance may be aýýected.
Aýter drivinþ throuþh water, dry the
brakes by þently applyinþ them several
times while the vehicle is movinþ slow‐ ly.
