Try to adjust your speed so you can drive through the

curve. Maintain a reasonable, steady speed. Wait

to accelerate until you are out of the curve, and then

accelerate gently into the straightaway.

Adding non-dealer/non-retailer accessories can affect

your vehicle’s performance. See Accessories and

Modiﬁcations on page 5-3.

Steering in Emergencies

There are times when steering can be more effective than

braking. For example, you come over a hill and ﬁnd a

truck stopped in your lane, or a car suddenly pulls out

from nowhere, or a child darts out from between parked

cars and stops right in front of you. You can avoid these

problems by braking — if you can stop in time. But

sometimes you cannot; there is not room. That is the time

for evasive action — steering around the problem.

Your vehicle can perform very well in emergencies like

these. First apply the brakes. See Braking on page 4-4.It

is better to remove as much speed as you can from a

possible collision. Then steer around the problem, to the

left or right depending on the space available.

An emergency like this requires close attention and a

quick decision. If you are holding the steering wheel at

the recommended 9 and 3 o’clock positions, you

can turn it 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.
