[. . . ] Deep water can sweep your vehicle downstream and you and your passengers could drown. If it's only shallow water, it can still wash away the ground from under your tires, and you could lose traction and roll the vehicle over. See "Driving Through Water" in the Index for more information on driving through water. Driving in Water Light rain causes no special off-road driving problems. But heavy rain can mean flash flooding, and flood waters demand extreme caution. If it's deep enough to cover your wheel hubs, axles or exhaust pipe, don't try it -- you probably won't get through. Also, water that deep can damage your axle and other vehicle parts. 4-27 Second Printing for Chevrolet Tracker Owner's Manual ­ 1999 yellowblue After Off-Road Driving Remove any brush or debris that has collected on the underbody, chassis or under the hood.

One reason is that some drivers are likely to be impaired -- by alcohol or drugs, with night vision problems, or by fatigue. 4-28 Second Printing for Chevrolet Tracker Owner's Manual ­ 1999 Here are some tips on night driving. yellowblue D Drive defensively. D Adjust your inside rearview mirror to reduce the glare from headlamps behind you. driving, don't wear sunglasses at night. They may cut down on glare from headlamps, but they also make a lot of things invisible. It can take a second or two, or even several seconds, for your eyes to readjust to the dark. When you are faced with severe glare (as from a driver who doesn't lower the high beams, or a vehicle with misaimed headlamps), slow down a little. Keep your windshield and all the glass on your vehicle clean -- inside and out. Dirty glass makes lights dazzle and flash more than clean glass would, making the pupils of your eyes contract repeatedly. Remember that your headlamps light up far less of a roadway when you are in a turn or curve. Keep your eyes moving; that way, it's easier to pick out dimly lighted objects. Just as your headlamps should be checked regularly for proper aim, so should your eyes be examined regularly. Some drivers suffer from night blindness -- the inability to see in dim light -- and aren't even aware of it. D Since you can't see as well, you may need to slow down and keep more space between you and other vehicles. headlamps can light up only so much road ahead. D Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. D If you're tired, pull off the road in a safe place and rest. Night Vision No one can see as well at night as in the daytime.
