8-6 Driving and Operating

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 the vehicle and rest.

Other driving tips include:

Ÿ Keep the vehicle well ventilated.

Ÿ Keep the interior temperature cool.

Ÿ Keep your eyes moving - scan the

road ahead and to the sides.

Ÿ 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:

Ÿ Keep the vehicle serviced and in

good shape.

Ÿ Check all fluid levels and brakes,

tires, cooling system, and trans-

mission.

Ÿ Shift to a lower gear when going

down steep or long hills.

Ÿ 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.

Ÿ Be alert on top of hills; something

could be in your lane (stalled car,

accident).

Ÿ Pay attention to special road signs

(falling rocks area, winding roads,

long grades, passing or no-passing

zones) and take appropriate action.

Warning

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. You would then have

poor braking and you could crash.

Always have the engine running and

the vehicle in gear when going

downhill.

If you do not shift down, the brakes

could get so hot that they would not

work well. You would then have

poor braking and you could crash.

Shift down to let the engine assist the

brakes on a steep downhill slope.

Caution

It is recommended to drive both

Automatic and Manual Transmission

vehicles up to the altitude of 4000

meters maximum. Contact your

CHEVROLET retailer for more

information.
