Kia Carens: Special driving conditions / Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving dangerous, especially if you’re not prepared
for the slick pavement. Here are a few things to consider when driving in the rain:
- A heavy rainfall will make it harder to see and will increase the distance
needed to stop your vehicle, so slow down.
- Keep your windshield wiping equipment in good shape. Replace your windshield
wiper blades when they show signs of streaking or missing areas on the windshield.
- If your tires are not in good condition, making a quick stop on wet pavement
can cause a skid and possibly lead to an accident. Be sure your tires are in
good shape.
- Turn on your headlights to make it easier for others to see you.
- Driving too fast through large puddles can affect your brakes. If you must
go through puddles, try to drive through them slowly.
- If you believe you may have gotten your brakes wet, apply them lightly while
driving until normal braking operation returns.
