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 Tips

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 6-44.

• Turn off cruise control.

Before Leaving on a Long Trip

To prepare your vehicle for a long trip, consider having

it serviced by your dealer/retailer before departing.

Things to check on your own include:

• Windshield Washer Fluid: Reservoir full? Windows

clean — inside and outside?

• Wiper Blades: In good shape?

• Fuel, Engine Oil, Other Fluids: All levels checked?

• Lamps: Do they all work and are lenses clean?

• Tires: Are treads good? Are tires inﬂated to

recommended pressure?

• Weather and Maps: Safe to travel?

Have up-to-date maps?

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.
