Whatever the condition — smooth ice, packed, blowing,

or loose snow — drive with caution.

Traction control improves 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 4-21. Even

though 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.

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.
