After Off-Road Driving

Remove any brush or debris that has collected on the

underbody, chassis, or under the hood. These

accumulations can be a ﬁre hazard.

After operation in mud or sand, have the brake linings

cleaned and checked. These substances can cause

glazing and uneven braking. Check the body structure,

steering, suspension, wheels, tires, and exhaust

system for damage. Also, check the fuel lines and

cooling system for any leakage.

Your vehicle will require more frequent service due to

off-road use. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule

for additional information.

Driving at Night

Night driving is more dangerous than day driving.

One reason is that some drivers are likely to be

impaired — by alcohol or drugs, with night vision

problems, or by fatigue.

Here are some tips on night driving.

• Drive defensively.

• Do not drink and drive.

• Adjust the inside rearview mirror to reduce the glare

from headlamps behind you.

• Since you cannot see as well, you may need to

slow down and keep more space between you

and other vehicles.

• Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. Your

vehicle’s headlamps can light up only so much road

ahead.

• In remote areas, watch for animals.

• If you are tired, pull off the road in a safe place

and rest.

No one can see as well at night as in the daytime. But

as we get older these differences increase. A

50-year-old driver may require at least twice as much

light to see the same thing at night as a 20-year-old.

What you do in the daytime can also affect your

night vision. For example, if you spend the day in bright

sunshine you are wise to wear sunglasses. Your

eyes will have less trouble adjusting to night. But if you

are driving, do not wear sunglasses at night. They

may cut down on glare from headlamps, but they also

make a lot of things invisible.

You can be temporarily blinded by approaching

headlamps. It can take a second or two, or even

several seconds, for your eyes to re-adjust to the dark.

When you are faced with severe glare, as from a

driver who does not lower the high beams, or a vehicle

with misaimed headlamps, slow down a little. Avoid

staring directly into the approaching headlamps.
