Winter Driving

Driving on Snow or Ice

Drive carefully when there is snow or ice between the

tires and the road, creating less traction or grip. Wet ice

can occur at about 0°C (32°F) when freezing rain

begins to fall, resulting in even less traction. Avoid

driving on wet ice or in freezing rain until roads can be

treated with salt or sand.

Drive with caution, whatever the condition. Accelerate

gently so traction is not lost. Accelerating too quickly

causes the wheels to spin and makes the surface under

the tires slick, so there is even less traction.

Try not to break the fragile traction. If you accelerate too

fast, the drive wheels will spin and polish the surface

under the tires even more.

The Traction Control System (TCS)

on page 5‑9

improves the ability to accelerate on slippery roads,

but slow down and adjust your driving to the road

conditions. When driving through deep snow, turn off

the traction control system to help maintain vehicle

motion at lower speeds.

The Antilock Brake System (ABS)

on page 5‑5

improves vehicle stability during hard stops on a

slippery roads, but apply the brakes sooner than when

on dry pavement.

Allow greater following distance on any slippery road

and watch for slippery spots. Icy patches can occur on

otherwise clear roads in shaded areas. The surface

of a curve or an overpass can remain icy when the

surrounding roads are clear. Avoid sudden steering

maneuvers and braking while on ice.

Turn off cruise control, if equipped, on slippery surfaces.
