much throttle causes the driving wheels to

spin.

A

cornering skid is best handled by

easing your foot

off

the accelerator pedal.

If you have the ASR system, remember: It

helps avoid only the acceleration skid. If

you do not have traction control, or

if

the

system is

off,

then an acceleration skid is

also best handled by easing your foot

off

the accelerator pedal.

If your vehicle starts to slide, ease your

foot

off

the accelerator pedal and quickly

steer the way you want the vehicle to go.

If you start steering quickly enough, your

vehicle may straighten out. Always be

ready for a second skid if it occurs.

Of course, traction is reduced when water,

snow, ice, gravel, or other material is on

the road. For safety, you’ll want to slow

down and adjust your driving

to

these

conditions. It is important to slow down

on slippery surfaces because stopping

distance will be longer and vehicle

control more limited.

While driving on a surface with reduced

traction, try

your

best

to

avoid sudden

steering, acceleration,

or

braking

(including engine bralung by shifting to a

lower gear). Any sudden changes could

cause the tires to slide. You may not

realize the surface is slippery until your

vehicle is skidding. Learn to recognize

warning clues

-

such as enough water,

ice or packed snow on the road to make

a .“mirrored surface”

-

and slow down

when you have any doubt.

Remember: Any anti-lock braking system

(ABS) helps avoid only the braking skid.
