Whatever the condition — smooth ice, packed, blowing,

or loose snow — drive with caution.

If your vehicle has the Traction Control System (TCS),

it will improve your ability to accelerate when driving

on a slippery road. Even though you have TCS,

slow down and adjust your driving to the road conditions.

Under certain conditions, you might want to turn the

TCS off, such as when driving through deep snow and

loose gravel, to help maintain vehicle motion at

lower speeds. See Traction Control System (TCS) on

page 4-6.

If your vehicle does not have TCS, accelerate gently.

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.

Unless your vehicle has the Antilock Brake System

(ABS), you will want to brake very gently, too. If you

do have ABS, see Antilock Brake System (ABS)

on page 4-4. ABS improves your vehicle’s stability when

you make a hard stop on a slippery road. Whether

your vehicle has ABS or not, begin stopping sooner than

you would on dry pavement. Without ABS, if you feel

your vehicle begin to slide, let up on the brakes a little.

Push the brake pedal down steadily to get the most

traction you can.

Remember, unless your vehicle has ABS, if you brake

so hard that the wheels stop rolling, your vehicle will just

slide. Brake so the wheels always keep rolling and

you can still steer.

• Whatever your vehicle’s braking system, allow

greater following distance on any slippery road.

• Watch for slippery spots. The road might be ﬁne

until you hit a spot that is covered with ice.

On an otherwise clear road, ice patches can appear

in shaded areas where the sun cannot reach,

such as around clumps of trees, behind buildings,

or under bridges. Sometimes the surface of a curve

or an overpass can remain icy when the surrounding

roads are clear. If you see a patch of ice ahead

of you, brake before you are on it. Try not to brake

while you are actually on the ice, and avoid

sudden steering maneuvers.
