Hard packed snow and ice offer the worst tire traction.

On these surfaces, it’s very easy to lose control. On wet

ice, for example, the traction is so poor that you will

have difficulty accelerating. And if you do get moving,

poor steering and difficult braking can cause you to slide

out of control.

CAUTION:

Driving on frozen lakes, ponds or rivers can be

dangerous. Underwater springs, currents under

the ice, or sudden thaws can weaken the ice. Your

vehicle could fall through the ice and you and

your passengers could drown. Drive your vehicle

on safe surfaces only.

Driving in Water

Light rain causes no special off-road driving problems.

But heavy rain can mean flash flooding, and flood

waters demand extreme caution.

Find out how deep the water is before you drive through

it. If it’s deep enough to cover your wheel hubs, axles or

exhaust pipe, don’t try it

-- you probably won’t get

through. Also, water that deep can damage your axle

and other vehicle parts.

If the water isn’t too deep, then drive through it slowly. At

fast speeds, water splashes on your ignition system and

your vehicle can stall. Stalling can also occur if you get

your tailpipe under water. And, as long as your tailpipe is

under water, you’ll never be able to start your engine.

When you go through water, remember that when your

brakes get wet, it may take you longer to stop.

CAUTION:

Driving through rushing water can be dangerous.

Deep water can sweep your vehicle downstream

and you and your passengers could drown. If it’s

only shallow water, it can still wash away the

ground from under your tires, and you could lose

traction and roll the vehicle over. Don’t drive

through rushing water.

See “Driving Through Water” in the Index for more

information on driving through water.
