Kia Soul: Special driving conditions / Smooth cornering, Driving at night
Smooth cornering

Avoid braking or gear changing in corners, especially when roads are wet. Ideally,
corners should always be taken under gentle acceleration. If you follow these suggestions,
tire wear will be held to a minimum.
Driving at night

Because night driving presents more hazards than driving in the daylight, here
are some important tips to remember:
- Slow down and keep more distance between you and other vehicles, as it
may be more difficult to see at night, especially in areas where there may not
be any street lights.
- Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare from other driver's headlights.
- Keep your headlights clean and properly aimed on vehicles not equipped
with the automatic headlight aiming feature. Dirty or improperly aimed headlights
will make it much more difficult to see at night.
- Avoid staring directly at the headlights of oncoming vehicles. You could
be temporarily blinded, and it will take several seconds for your eyes to readjust
to the darkness.
