If your vehicle has a traction system, it will improve your

ability to accelerate when driving on a slippery road. But

you can turn the traction system off if you ever need to.

You should turn the traction system off if your vehicle

ever gets stuck in sand, mud, ice, or snow. See If Your

Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow on

page 4-20. Even if your vehicle has a traction system,

slow down and adjust your driving to the road conditions.

Under certain conditions, you might want to turn the

traction system 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 and StabiliTrak

System on page 4-7.

If your vehicle does not have a traction system,

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.

The Antilock Brake System (ABS) improves your

vehicle’s stability when you make a hard stop on a

slippery road. Even though you have ABS, begin

stopping sooner than you would on dry pavement. See

Antilock Brake System (ABS) on page 4-5.

• 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.

If You Are Caught in a Blizzard

If you are stopped by heavy snow, you could be in a

serious situation. You should probably stay with

your vehicle unless you know for sure that you are near

help and you can hike through the snow. Here are

some things to do to summon help and keep yourself

and your passengers safe:

• Turn on the hazard warning ﬂashers.

• Tie a red cloth to your vehicle to alert police that

you have been stopped by the snow.

• Put on extra clothing or wrap a blanket around you.

If you do not have blankets or extra clothing, make

body insulators from newspapers, burlap bags,

rags, ﬂoor mats — anything you can wrap around

yourself or tuck under your clothing to keep warm.
