Other information:
Braking action involves perception time and reaction time. Deciding to push the
brake pedal is perception time. Actually doing it is reaction time.
Average driver reaction time is about three-quarters of a second. In that time,
a vehicle moving at 100 km/h (60 mph) travels 20m (66 ft), which could be a lot
of distance in an emergency...
If this vehicle came with a full-size spare tire, it was fully inflated when
new, however, it can lose air over time. Check the inflation pressure regularly.
See Tire Pressure and Vehicle Load Limits. For instructions on how to remove, install,
or store a spare tire, see Tire Changing...
