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.

• 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 your vehicle serviced and in good shape.

• Check all ﬂuid levels and brakes, tires, cooling

system, and transmission.

• Going down steep or long hills, shift to a lower gear.

{CAUTION:

If you do not shift down, the brakes could get

so hot that they would not work well. You

would then have poor braking or even none

going down a hill. You could crash. Shift down

to let the engine assist the brakes on a steep

downhill slope.
