u Abruptly releasing the accelerator or braking hard when your vehicle is in a severe curve at a speed which is high in relationship to the severity of the curve (and other factors like road, weather, and tire conditions) may cause the vehicle to change its direction of travel. If possible, avoid application of the brakes. If braking is necessary, it should be done by using the "squeeze" technique described earlier. If you run off the road, do not turn the steering wheel sharply to return to the road. Instead, slow the vehicle sufficiently and gradually steer the vehicle back onto the road. Wheel Spin u Extreme acceleration can cause the rear wheels to spin, perhaps resulting in reduced steering control. If the wheels spin during vehicle start-up, shift to second gear. Move forward slowly and evenly. If this does not work, try rocking the vehicle. High Speed Driving Ford Motor Company recommends obeying posted speed limits. RWARNING Driving too fast for conditions creates the possibility of loss of vehicle control. Driving at very high speeds for extended periods of time may result in damage to vehicle components. 199
