Hazardous driving conditions

When hazardous driving elements

are encountered such as water,

snow, ice, mud and sand, take these

suggestions:

• Drive cautiously and keep a longer

braking distance.

• Avoid abrupt braking or steering.

Do not pump the brake pedal,

when your vehicle is equipped

with the ABS.

• When your vehicle is stuck in snow,

mud, or sand, use the second

gear. Accelerate slowly to avoid

unnecessary spinning of the drive

• Put sand, rock salt, tire chains or

other non-slip materials under the

drive wheels to provide additional

traction when being stuck in ice,

snow, or mud.

- Downshifting

Downshifting with an automatic

transmission, while driving on

slippery surfaces, may cause an

change in driving may cause

the tires to skid. Be careful

when downshifting on a slip-

pery surface.
