{CAUTION:

Drinking and then driving is very dangerous.

Your reﬂexes, perceptions, attentiveness,

and judgment can be affected by even a small

amount of alcohol. You can have a serious — or

even fatal — collision if you drive after drinking.

Do not drink and drive or ride with a driver

who has been drinking. Ride home in a cab; or

if you are with a group, designate a driver who

will not drink.

Control of a Vehicle

The following three systems help to control your vehicle

while driving — brakes, steering, and accelerator.

At times, as when driving on snow or ice, it is easy to ask

more of those control systems than the tires and road can

provide. Meaning, you can lose control of your vehicle.

See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-6.

Adding non-dealer/non-retailer accessories can affect

your vehicle’s performance. See Accessories and

Modiﬁcations on page 5-3.

Braking

See Brake System Warning Light on page 3-34.

Braking action involves perception time and reaction

time. First, you have to decide to push on the brake

pedal. That is perception time. Then you have to bring

up your foot and do it. That 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 60 mph (100 km/h) travels

66 feet (20 m). That could be a lot of distance in an

emergency, so keeping enough space between

your vehicle and others is important.

And, of course, actual stopping distances vary greatly

with the surface of the road, whether it is pavement

or gravel; the condition of the road, whether it is wet,

dry, or icy; tire tread; the condition of the brakes;

the weight of the vehicle; and the amount of brake

force applied.
