Whatever the condition
--
smooth ice, packed, blowing or
loose snow
--
drive with caution. 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 ability to make
a
hard stop on a slippery road. Even though you have the
anti-lock braking system, you’ll want to begin stopping
sooner than you would on
dry
pavement. See “Anti-lock”
in the Index.
Allow greater following distance on any slippery
road.
Watch for slippery spots. The road might be
fine
until
you hit a spot that’s covered with ice. On an otherwise
clear road, ice patches may appear
in
shaded areas
where the
sun
can’t 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’re actually on the ice, and
avoid sudden steering maneuvers.
