Driving in Bad Weather
Slippery roads
On some slippery road surfaces, front-wheel
drive may provide better acceleration than
rear-wheel drive. However, this does not mean
that your vehicle can stop any faster or any
better than a vehicle with rear-wheel drive.
Exercise the same caution while driving on
slippery roads with your front-wheel drive
vehicle as you would with a rear-wheel drive
vehicle.
Drive cautiously on wet or snowy roads:
Do not quickly move the steering wheel
unless necessary.
Drive slower than you normally would.
Give your vehicle more distance to stop.
Pump the brake pedal steadily and evenly to
avoid locking your wheels.
Consider using one of the lower gears.
To avoid losing control on slippery roads,
do not downshift into 1 (First) with the
automatic transaxle when moving faster
than 20 mph (32 km/h). Do not downshift
into 1 (First) with the manual transaxle
when moving faster than 10 mph
(16 km/h).
If your vehicle has speed control, do not
use it on slippery roads. You could lose
control of your vehicle and could injure
someone.
