The sudden movement could startle and confuse you, or make you push a pedal when you do not want to.

{ W ARNING: Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts cannot do their job when you are reclined like this. The shoulder belt cannot do its job. In a crash, you could go into it, receiving neck or other injuries. The lap belt cannot do its job either . In a crash the belt could go up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not at your pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries. For proper protection when the vehicle is in motion, have the seatback upright. Then sit well back in the seat and wear your safety belt properly . Do not have a seatback reclined if your vehicle is moving. 2-7[...]

Safety Belts Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone This section of the manual describes how to use safety belts properly . It also describes some things not to do with safety belts. { W ARNING: Do not let anyone ride where a safety belt cannot be worn properly . In a crash, if you or your passenger(s) are not wearing safety belts, the injuries can be much worse. Y ou can hit things inside the vehicle harder or be ejected from the vehicle. Y ou and your passenger(s) can be seriously injured or killed. In the same crash, you might not be, if you are buckled up. Always fasten your safety belt, and check that your passenger(s) are restrained properly too. { W ARNING: It is extremely dangerous to r[...]

In most states and in all Canadian provinces, the law requires wearing safety belts. Here is why: Y ou never know if you will be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you do not know if it will be a serious one. A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be so serious that even buckled up, a person would not survive. But most crashes are in between. In many of them, people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk away . Without safety belts, they could have been badly hurt or killed. After more than 40 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear . In most crashes buckling up does matter ... a lot! Why Safety Belts Work When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes[...]

Put someone on it. Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The rider does not stop. 2-1 1[...]

The person keeps going until stopped by something. In a real vehicle, it could be the windshield... or the instrument panel... 2-12[...]

or the safety belts! With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does. Y ou get more time to stop. Y ou stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the forces. That is why safety belts make such good sense. Questions and Answers About Safety Belts Q: Will I be trapped in the vehicle after a crash if I am wearing a safety belt? A: Y ou could be — whether you are wearing a safety belt or not. But your chance of being conscious during and after an accident, so you can unbuckle and get out, is much greater if you are belted. And you can unbuckle a safety belt, even if you are upside down. Q: If my vehicle has airbags, why should I have to wear safety belts? A: Airbags are supple[...]

Q: If I am a good driver , and I never drive far from home, why should I wear safety belts? A: Y ou may be an excellent driver, but if you are in a crash — even one that is not your fault — you and your passenger(s) can be hurt. Being a good driver does not protect you from things beyond your control, such as bad drivers. Most accidents occur within 25 miles (40 km) of home. And the greatest number of serious injuries and deaths occur at speeds of less than 40 mph (65 km/h). Safety belts are for everyone. How to Wear Safety Belts Properly This section is only for people of adult size. Be aware that there are special things to know about safety belts and children. And there are different [...]

Sit up straight and always keep your feet on the floor in front of you. The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic bones and you would be less likely to slide under the lap belt. If you slid under it, the belt would apply force on your abdomen. This could cause serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of the body are best able to take belt restraining forces. The shoulder belt locks if there is a sudden stop or crash. 2-15[...]

Q: What is wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It will not give as much protection this way . { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is too loose. In a crash, you would move forward too much, which could increase injury . The shoulder belt should fit snugly against your body . 2-16[...]

Q: What is wrong with this? A: The lap belt is too loose. It will not give nearly as much protection this way . { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously hurt if your lap belt is too loose. In a crash, you could slide under the lap belt and apply force on your abdomen. This could cause serious or even fatal injuries. The lap belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs. 2-17[...]

Q: What is wrong with this? A: The belt is buckled in the wrong buckle. { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured if your belt is buckled in the wrong place like this. In a crash, the belt would go up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not on the pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. 2-18[...]

Q: What is wrong with this? A: The belt is over an armrest. { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured if your belt goes over an armrest like this. The belt would be much too high. In a crash, you can slide under the belt. The belt force would then be applied on the abdomen, not on the pelvic bones, and that could cause serious or fatal injuries. Be sure the belt goes under the armrests. 2-19[...]

Q: What is wrong with this? A: The shoulder belt is worn under the arm. It should be worn over the shoulder at all times. { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured if you wear the shoulder belt under your arm. In a crash, your body would move too far forward, which would increase the chance of head and neck injury . Also, the belt would apply too much force to the ribs, which are not as strong as shoulder bones. Y ou could also severely injure internal organs like your liver or spleen. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest. 2-20[...]

Q: What is wrong with this? A: The belt is behind the body . { W ARNING: Y ou can be seriously injured by not wearing the lap-shoulder belt properly . In a crash, you would not be restrained by the shoulder belt. Y our body could move too far forward increasing the chance of head and neck injury . Y ou might also slide under the lap belt.

Lap-Shoulder Belt All seating positions in the vehicle have a lap-shoulder belt. The following instructions explain how to wear a lap-shoulder belt properly . 1. Adjust the seat, if the seat is adjustable, so you can sit up straight. T o see how , see “ Seats ” in the Index. 2. Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt across you. Do not let it get twisted. The lap-shoulder belt may lock if you pull the belt across you very quickly . If this happens, let the belt go back slightly to unlock it. Then pull the belt across you more slowly . If the shoulder portion of a passenger belt is pulled out all the way , the child restraint locking feature may be engaged. If this happens, let the belt[...]

4. T o make the lap part tight, pull up on the shoulder belt. It may be necessary to pull stitching on the safety belt through the latch plate to fully tighten the lap belt on smaller occupants. T o unlatch the belt, push the button on the buckle. The belt should return to its stowed position. Before a door is closed, be sure the safety belt is out of the way . If a door is slammed against a safety belt, damage can occur to both the safety belt and the vehicle. 2-24[...]

Safety Belt Pretensioners This vehicle has safety belt pretensioners for the front outboard occupants. Although the safety belt pretensioners cannot be seen, they are part of the safety belt assembly . They can help tighten the safety belts during the early stages of a moderate to severe frontal and near frontal crash if the threshold conditions for pretensioner activation are met. And, for vehicles with side impact airbags, safety belt pretensioners can help tighten the safety belts in a side crash. Pretensioners work only once. If the pretensioners activate in a crash, they will need to be replaced, and probably other new parts for the vehicle's safety belt system. See Replacing Restr[...]

Safety Belt Extender If the vehicle's safety belt will fasten around you, you should use it. But if a safety belt is not long enough, your dealer/ retailer will order you an extender . When you go in to order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear , so the extender will be long enough for you. T o help avoid personal injury , do not let someone else use it, and use it only for the seat it is made to fit. The extender has been designed for adults. Never use it for securing child seats. T o wear it, attach it to the regular safety belt. For more information, see the instruction sheet that comes with the extender .

The belt force would then be app[...]

Infants and Y oung Children Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! This includes infants and all other children. Neither the distance traveled nor the age and size of the traveler changes the need, for everyone, to use safety restraints. In fact, the law in every state in the United States and in every Canadian province says children up to some age must be restrained while in a vehicle. { W ARNING: Children can be seriously injured or strangled if a shoulder belt is wrapped around their neck and the safety belt continues to tighten. Never leave children unattended in a vehicle and never allow children to play with the safety belts. Airbags plus lap ‐ shoulder belts offer protection for ad[...]

{ W ARNING: Never do this. Never hold an infant or a child while riding in a vehicle. Due to crash forces, an infant or a child will become so heavy it is not possible to hold it during a crash. For example, in a crash at only 40 km/h (25 mph), a 5.5 kg (12 lb) infant will suddenly become a 1 10 kg (240 lb) force on a person's arms. An infant should be secured in an appropriate restraint. 2-30[...]

{ W ARNING: Never do this. Children who are up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Never put a rear-facing child restraint in the right front seat. Secure a rear-facing child restraint in a rear seat. It is also better to secure a forward-facing child restraint in a rear seat. If you must secure a forward-facing child restraint in the right front seat, always move the front passenger seat as far back as it will go. 2-31[...]

Q: What are the different types of add-on child restraints? A: Add-on child restraints, which are purchased by the vehicle's owner , are available in four basic types. Selection of a particular restraint should take into consideration not only the child's weight, height, and age but also whether or not the restraint will be compatible with the motor vehicle in which it will be used. For most basic types of child restraints, there are many different models available. When purchasing a child restraint, be sure it is designed to be used in a motor vehicle. If it is, the restraint will have a label saying that it meets federal motor vehicle safety standards. The restraint manufacturer&[...]

{ W ARNING: A young child's hip bones are still so small that the vehicle's regular safety belt may not remain low on the hip bones, as it should. Instead, it may settle up around the child's abdomen. In a crash, the belt would apply force on a body area that is unprotected by any bony structure. This alone could cause serious or fatal injuries. T o reduce the risk of serious or fatal injuries during a crash, young children should always be secured in appropriate child restraints. Child Restraint Systems A rear-facing infant seat (A) provides restraint with the seating surface against the back of the infant. The harness system holds the infant in place and, in a crash, acts to[...]

A booster seat (C-D) is a child restraint designed to improve the fit of the vehicle's safety belt system. A booster seat can also help a child to see out the window . Securing an Add-On Child Restraint in the V ehicle { W ARNING: A child can be seriously injured or killed in a crash if the child restraint is not properly secured in the vehicle. Secure the child restraint properly in the vehicle using the vehicle's safety belt or LA TCH system, following the instructions that came with that child restraint and the instructions in this manual. T o help reduce the chance of injury , the child restraint must be secured in the vehicle. Child restraint systems must be secured in vehicle[...]

When securing an add-on child restraint, refer to the instructions that come with the restraint which may be on the restraint itself or in a booklet, or both, and to this manual. The child restraint instructions are important, so if they are not available, obtain a replacement copy from the manufacturer . Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint can move around in a collision or sudden stop and injure people in the vehicle. Be sure to properly secure any child restraint in the vehicle — even when no child is in it.

Airbag System The vehicle has the following airbags: . A frontal airbag for the driver . . A frontal airbag for the right front passenger . . A seat-mounted side impact airbag for the driver . . A seat-mounted side impact airbag for the right front passenger . All of the airbags in the vehicle will have the word AIRBAG embossed in the trim or on an attached label near the deployment opening. For frontal airbags, the word AIRBAG will appear on the middle part of the steering wheel for the driver and on the instrument panel for the right front passenger . With seat-mounted side impact airbags, the word AIRBAG will appear on the side of the seatback closest to the door . Airbags are designed to[...]

{ W ARNING: Airbags inflate with great force, faster than the blink of an eye. Anyone who is up against, or very close to, any airbag when it inflates can be seriously injured or killed. Do not sit unnecessarily close to the airbag, as you would be if you were sitting on the edge of your seat or leaning forward. Safety belts help keep you in position before and during a crash. Always wear your safety belt, even with airbags. The driver should sit as far back as possible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. Occupants should not lean on or sleep against the door or side windows in seating positions with seat-mounted airbags. { W ARNING: Children who are up against, or very close to,[...]

Where Are the Airbags? The driver frontal airbag is in the middle of the steering wheel. The right front passenger frontal airbag is in the instrument panel on the passenger's side. 2-46[...]

Driver Side shown, Passenger Side similar The seat-mounted side impact airbags for the driver and right front passenger are in the side of the seatbacks closest to the door . { W ARNING: If something is between an occupant and an airbag, the airbag might not inflate properly or it might force the object into that person causing severe injury or even death. The path of an inflating airbag must be kept clear . Do not put anything between an occupant and an airbag, and do not attach or put anything on the steering wheel hub or on or near any other airbag covering. Do not use seat accessories that block the inflation path of a seat-mounted side impact airbag. 2-47[...]

When Should an Airbag Inflate? Frontal airbags are designed to inflate in moderate to severe frontal or near-frontal crashes to help reduce the potential for severe injuries mainly to the driver's or right front passenger's head and chest. However , they are only designed to inflate if the impact exceeds a predetermined deployment threshold. Deployment thresholds are used to predict how severe a crash is likely to be in time for the airbags to inflate and help restrain the occupants. Whether the frontal airbags will or should deploy is not based on how fast your vehicle is traveling. It depends largely on what you hit, the direction of the impact, and how quickly your vehicle slows[...]

Thresholds can also vary with specific vehicle design. Frontal airbags are not intended to inflate during vehicle rollovers, rear impacts, or in many side impacts. In addition, your vehicle has dual-stage frontal airbags. Dual-stage airbags adjust the restraint according to crash severity . Y our vehicle has electronic frontal sensors, which help the sensing system distinguish between a moderate frontal impact and a more severe frontal impact. For moderate frontal impacts, dual-stage airbags inflate at a level less than full deployment. For more severe frontal impacts, full deployment occurs. Y our vehicle may have one or two seat position sensors, depending on what model you have. The seat [...]

What Makes an Airbag Inflate? In a deployment event, the sensing system sends an electrical signal triggering a release of gas from the inflator . Gas from the inflator fills the airbag causing the bag to break out of the cover and deploy . The inflator , the airbag, and related hardware are all part of the airbag module. Frontal airbag modules are located inside the steering wheel and instrument panel. For vehicles with seat-mounted side impact airbags, there are airbag modules in the side of the front seatbacks closest to the door . How Does an Airbag Restrain? In moderate to severe frontal or near frontal collisions, even belted occupants can contact the steering wheel or the instrument p[...]

What Will Y ou See After an Airbag Inflates? After the frontal and seat-mounted side impact airbags inflate, they quickly deflate, so quickly that some people may not even realize the airbags inflated. Some components of the airbag module may be hot for several minutes. For location of the airbag modules, see What Makes an Airbag Inflate? on page 2 ‑ 50 . The parts of the airbag that come into contact with you may be warm, but not too hot to touch. There may be some smoke and dust coming from the vents in the deflated airbags. Airbag inflation does not prevent the driver from seeing out of the windshield or being able to steer the vehicle, nor does it prevent people from leaving the vehicl[...]

airbags inflate. Y ou can lock the doors, turn the interior lamps off, and turn the hazard warning flashers off by using the controls for those features. { W ARNING: A crash severe enough to inflate the airbags may have also damaged important functions in the vehicle, such as the fuel system, brake and steering systems, etc. Even if the vehicle appears to be drivable after a moderate crash, there may be concealed damage that could make it difficult to safely operate the vehicle. Use caution if you should attempt to restart the engine after a crash has occurred. In many crashes severe enough to inflate the airbag, windshields are broken by vehicle deformation. Additional windshield breakage m[...]

Passenger Sensing System The vehicle has a passenger sensing system for the right front passenger position. The passenger airbag status indicator will be visible in the rearview mirror when the vehicle is started.

When the system check is complete, either the word ON or OFF , or the symbol for on or off, will be visible. See Passenger Airbag Status Indicator on page 4 ‑ 34 . The passenger sensing system will turn off the right front passenger frontal airbag and seat-mounted side impact airbag under certain conditions. The driver airbags are not affected by the passenger sensin[...]

A label on the sun visor says, “ Never put a rear-facing child seat in the front. ” This is because the risk to the rear-facing child is so great, if the airbag deploys. { W ARNING: A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the right front passenger airbag inflates. This is because the back of the rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating airbag. A child in a forward-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the right front passenger airbag inflates and the passenger seat is in a forward position. Even if the passenger sensing system has turned off the right front passenger frontal airbag and seat-mounted side[...]

When the passenger sensing system has turned off the right front passenger frontal airbag and seat-mounted side impact airbag, the off indicator will light and stay lit to remind you that the airbag(s) are off. See Passenger Airbag Status Indicator on page 4 ‑ 34 . The passenger sensing system is designed to turn on (may inflate) the right front passenger frontal airbag and seat-mounted side impact airbag anytime the system senses that a person of adult size is sitting properly in the right front passenger seat. When the passenger sensing system has allowed the airbag(s) to be enabled, the on indicator will light and stay lit to remind you that the airbag or airbags are active. For some ch[...]

If the On Indicator is Lit for a Child Restraint If a child restraint has been installed and the on indicator is lit: 1. T urn the vehicle off. 2. Remove the child restraint from the vehicle. 3.

Reinstall the child restraint following the directions provided by the child restraint manufacturer and refer to Securing a Child Restraint in the Right Front Seat Position on page 2 ‑ 40 . 5. If, after reinstalling the child restraint and restarting the vehicle, the on indicator is still lit, turn the vehicle off. Then slightly recline the vehicle seatback and adjust the seat cush[...]

If this happens, use the following steps to allow the system to detect that person and enable the right front passenger frontal airbag and seat-mounted side impact airbag: 1. T urn the vehicle off. 2. Remove any additional material from the seat, such as blankets, cushions, seat covers, seat heaters, or seat massagers. 3. Place the seatback in the fully upright position. 4. Have the person sit upright in the seat, centered on the seat cushion, with legs comfortably extended. 5. Restart the vehicle and have the person remain in this position for two to three minutes after the on indicator is lit. Additional Factors Affecting System Operation Safety belts help keep the passenger in position on[...]

A thick layer of additional material, such as a blanket or cushion, or aftermarket equipment such as seat covers, seat heaters, and seat massagers can affect how well the passenger sensing system operates. We recommend that you not use seat covers or other aftermarket equipment except when approved by GM for your specific vehicle. See Adding Equipment to Y our Airbag-Equipped Vehicle on page 2 ‑ 59 for more information about modifications that can af fect how the system operates. { W ARNING: Stowing of articles under the passenger seat or between the passenger seat cushion and seatback may interfere with the proper operation of the passenger sensing system.

Y our Driving, the Road, and the V ehicle Defensive Driving Defensive driving means “ always expect the unexpected. ” The first step in driving defensively is to wear your safety belt — See Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone on page 2 ‑ 9 . { W ARNING: Assume that other road users (pedestrians, bicyclists, and other drivers) are going to be careless and make mistakes. Anticipate what they might do and be ready . In addition: . Allow enough following distance between you and the driver in front of you. . Focus on the task of driving. Driver distraction can cause collisions resulting in injury or possible death. These simple defensive driving techniques could save your life. Drunk Dri[...]

For persons under 21, it is against the law in every U.S. state to drink alcohol. There are good medical, psychological, and developmental reasons for these laws. The obvious way to eliminate the leading highway safety problem is for people never to drink alcohol and then drive. Medical research shows that alcohol in a person's system can make crash injuries worse, especially injuries to the brain, spinal cord, or heart. This means that when anyone who has been drinking — driver or passenger — is in a crash, that person's chance of being killed or permanently disabled is higher than if the person had not been drinking. Control of a V ehicle The following three systems help to c[...]

Braking See Brake System Warning Light on page 4 ‑ 36 . Braking action involves perception time and reaction time. Deciding to push the brake pedal is perception time. Actually doing it is reaction time. Average reaction time is about three ‐ fourths of a second. But that is only an average. It might be less with one driver and as long as two or three seconds or more with another . Age, physical condition, alertness, coordination, and eyesight all play a part. So do alcohol, drugs, and frustration. But even in three ‐ fourths of a second, a vehicle moving at 100 km/h (60 mph) travels 20 m (66 feet). That could be a lot of distance in an emergency , so keeping enough space between the v[...]

Antilock Brake System (ABS) This vehicle has the Antilock Brake System (ABS), an advanced electronic braking system that helps prevent a braking skid. When the engine is started and the vehicle begins to drive away , ABS checks itself. A momentary motor or clicking noise might be heard while this test is going on, and it might even be noticed that the brake pedal moves a little. This is normal. If there is a problem with ABS, this warning light stays on. See Antilock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light on page 4 ‑ 37 . Let us say the road is wet and you are driving safely . Suddenly , an animal jumps out in front of you. Y ou slam on the brakes and continue braking. Here is what happens with [...]

Braking in Emergencies ABS allows the driver to steer and brake at the same time. In many emergencies, steering can help more than even the very best braking. Brake Assist This vehicle has a brake assist feature that responds to emergency braking by generating additional pressure and engaging the ABS. When this happens, the brake pedal will feel easier to push. Just hold the brake pedal down firmly and let the system work for you. Y ou might feel the brakes vibrate or notice some noise, but this is normal. The brakes will return to normal operation after the brake pedal is released. Brake assist cannot compensate for unsafe driving practices and braking effectiveness, itself, depends on the [...]

Steering Power Steering If power steering assist is lost because the engine stops or the system is not functioning, the vehicle can be steered but it will take more effort. Magnetic Speed V ariable Assist Steering System This system continuously adjusts the effort felt when steering at all vehicle speeds. It provides ease when parking, yet a firm, solid feel at highway speeds. Steering Tips It is important to take curves at a reasonable speed. T raction in a curve depends on the condition of the tires and the road surface, the angle at which the curve is banked, and vehicle speed. While in a curve, speed is the one factor that can be controlled. If there is a need to reduce speed, do it befo[...]

An emergency like this requires close attention and a quick decision. If holding the steering wheel at the recommended 9 and 3 o'clock positions, it can be turned a full 180 degrees very quickly without removing either hand. But you have to act fast, steer quickly , and just as quickly straighten the wheel once you have avoided the object. The fact that such emergency situations are always possible is a good reason to practice defensive driving at all times and wear safety belts properly . Off-Road Recovery The vehicle's right wheels can drop off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while driving. If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pavement, recovery should be [...]

Passing Passing another vehicle on a two-lane road can be dangerous. T o reduce the risk of danger while passing: . Look down the road, to the sides, and to crossroads for situations that might affect a successful pass. If in doubt, wait. . W atch for traffic signs, pavement markings, and lines that could indicate a turn or an intersection. Never cross a solid or double ‐ solid line on your side of the lane. . Do not get too close to the vehicle you want to pass. Doing so can reduce your visibility . . W ait your turn to pass a slow vehicle. . When you are being passed, ease to the right. Loss of Control Let us review what driving experts say about what happens when the three control syste[...]

If the vehicle starts to slide, ease your foot off the accelerator pedal and quickly steer the way you want the vehicle to go. If you start steering quickly enough, the vehicle may straighten out. Always be ready for a second skid if it occurs. Of course, traction is reduced when water , snow , ice, gravel, or other material is on the road. For safety , slow down and adjust your driving to these conditions. It is important to slow down on slippery surfaces because stopping distance will be longer and vehicle control more limited. While driving on a surface with reduced traction, try your best to avoid sudden steering, acceleration, or braking, including reducing vehicle speed by shifting to [...]

After conversion to the high performance brake fluid, follow the brake fluid service recommendations outlined by the fluid manufacturer . Do not use silicone or DOT ‐ 5 brake fluids. If the vehicle is a Z06, ZR1, or Grand Sport model, it has greaseable outer ends on both of the rear toe ‐ links. Under normal use, lubrication should be performed as described in the maintenance schedule. See Scheduled Maintenance on page 7 ‑ 3 and Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 7 ‑ 10 . If using the vehicle for racing, lubrication should be performed at the end of each racing day . See your dealer/retailer for lubrication and make sure any needed repairs are made at once. Proper procedures f[...]

Street High Performance Brake Burnishing Procedure Run this procedure in a safe manner and in compliance with all local and state ordinances/laws regarding motor vehicle operation. Run this procedure only on dry pavement. 1. From a stop, accelerate as rapidly as possible without activating traction control to a speed of 97 kph (60 mph). 2. Use enough pedal force to completely stop the vehicle in 4 to 5 seconds. If ABS activates, braking is too hard. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2, 50 times. This should take about 10 minutes. 4. After completing the 50 stops, cool the brakes by driving for 8 km (5 miles) at 97 kph (60 mph). As with all high performance brake systems, some amount of brake squeal is n[...]

Driving at Night Night driving is more dangerous than day driving because some drivers are likely to be impaired — by alcohol or drugs, with night vision problems, or by fatigue. Night driving tips include: . Drive defensively . . Do not drink and drive. . Reduce headlamp glare by adjusting the inside rearview mirror . . Slow down and keep more space between you and other vehicles because headlamps can only light up so much road ahead. . W atch for animals. . When tired, pull off the road. . Do not wear sunglasses. . Avoid staring directly into approaching headlamps. . Keep the windshield and all glass on your vehicle clean — inside and out. . Keep your eyes moving, especially during tur[...]

Hydroplaning Hydroplaning is dangerous. Water can build up under your vehicle's tires so they actually ride on the water . This can happen if the road is wet enough and you are going fast enough. When your vehicle is hydroplaning, it has little or no contact with the road. There is no hard and fast rule about hydroplaning. The best advice is to slow down when the road is wet. Other Rainy Weather T ips Besides slowing down, other wet weather driving tips include: . Allow extra following distance. . Pass with caution. . Keep windshield wiping equipment in good shape. . Keep the windshield washer fluid reservoir filled. . Have good tires with proper tread depth. See Tires on page 6 ‑ 62 [...]

Highway Hypnosis Always be alert and pay attention to your surroundings while driving. If you become tired or sleepy , find a safe place to park your vehicle and rest. Other driving tips include: . Keep the vehicle well ventilated. . Keep interior temperature cool. . Keep your eyes moving — scan the road ahead and to the sides. . Check the rearview mirror and vehicle instruments often. Hill and Mountain Roads Driving on steep hills or through mountains is different than driving on flat or rolling terrain. Tips for driving in these conditions include: . Keep the vehicle serviced and in good shape. . Check all fluid levels and brakes, tires, cooling system, and transmission. . Going down ste[...]

{ W ARNING: Coasting downhill in N (Neutral) or with the ignition off is dangerous. The brakes will have to do all the work of slowing down and they could get so hot that they would not work well. Y ou would then have poor braking or even none going down a hill. Y ou could crash. Always have the engine running and the vehicle in gear when going downhill. . Stay in your own lane. Do not swing wide or cut across the center of the road. Drive at speeds that let you stay in your own lane. . T op of hills: Be alert — something could be in your lane (stalled car , accident). . Pay attention to special road signs (falling rocks area, winding roads, long grades, passing or no-passing zones) and ta[...]

The Antilock Brake System (ABS) on page 5 ‑ 5 improves vehicle stability during hard stops on a slippery roads, but apply the brakes sooner than when on dry pavement. Allow greater following distance on any slippery road and watch for slippery spots. Icy patches can occur on otherwise clear roads in shaded areas. The surface of a curve or an overpass can remain icy when the surrounding roads are clear . Avoid sudden steering maneuvers and braking while on ice. T urn off cruise control, if equipped, on slippery surfaces. Blizzard Conditions Being stuck in snow can be in a serious situation. Stay with the vehicle unless there is help nearby . If possible, use the Roadside Assistance Program [...]

W ARNING: (Continued) For more information about carbon monoxide, see Engine Exhaust on page 3 ‑ 37 . Snow can trap exhaust gases under your vehicle. This can cause deadly CO (carbon monoxide) gas to get inside. CO could overcome you and kill you. Y ou cannot see it or smell it, so you might not know it is in your vehicle. Clear away snow from around the base of your vehicle, especially any that is blocking the exhaust. Run the engine for short periods only as needed to keep warm, but be careful. T o save fuel, run the engine for only short periods as needed to warm the vehicle and then shut the engine off and close the window most of the way to save heat.
