Whatever the condition — smooth ice, packed, blowing

or loose snow — drive with caution.

If you have traction assist, keep the system on. It will

improve your ability to accelerate when driving on

a slippery road. But you can turn the traction system off

if your vehicle ever gets stuck in sand, mud, ice or

snow. See If You Are Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow

on page 4-42. Even though your vehicle has a traction

system, you will want to slow down and adjust your

driving to the road conditions. See Traction Assist

System (TAS) on page 4-9.

If you do 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.

Your anti-lock brakes improve your vehicle’s stability

when you make a hard stop on a slippery road.

Even though you have an anti-lock braking system, you

will want to begin stopping sooner than you would on

dry pavement. See Braking on page 4-6.

• 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 can not reach:

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.
