HAZARDOUS DRIVING

When hazardous driving is encountered due

to water, snow, ice, mud, sand, or similar

conditions:

• Slow down your vehicle and drive cau-

tiously allowing extra distance for braking.

• Avoid sudden manoeuvres when braking,

steering or accelerating.

• When braking, press the brake pedal with

a light, up-and-down motion until the ve-

hicle is stopped, unless equipped with ABS.

For vehicles equipped with ABS, press

firmly on the brake pedal and steer around

any hazard.

• If stuck in snow, mud or sand, use second

gear to avoid spinning the front wheels.

• Use sand, tyre chains, or other non-slip

materials under the front wheels to

provide traction when stuck in ice, snow,

or mud. See “ROCKING YOUR VEHICLE” in

the index for more information.

AQUAPLANING

If your vehicle aquaplanes on a wet road, you

cannot control your vehicle because there is

little or no traction between the road and your

tyres.

Aquaplaning may occur depending on the road

conditions, tread and inflation of your tyres

and the speed of your vehicle. It is very

dangerous.

The best way to prevent aquaplaning is to

lower the speed of your vehicle and be

cautious whenever you feel the road is wet

enough.
