Your Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) improves your

vehicle’s stability when you make a hard stop on

a slippery road. Even though you have ABS, you will

want to begin stopping sooner than you would on

dry pavement. See Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

on page 4-7.

• 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 may 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 may 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 your hazard 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.

You can run the engine to keep warm, but be careful.
