-
Your anti lock brakes improve your vehicle's stability
when you make a hard stop on a slippery road. Even
-
though you have an anti lock braking system, you'll
want to begin stopping sooner than you would on dry
-
pavement. See "Anti Lock" in the Index.
D
Allow greater following distance on any
slippery road.
D
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.

If You're Caught in a Blizzard
If you are stopped by heavy snow, you could be in a
serious situation. You should probably stay with your
vehicle unless you know for sure that you are near help
and you can hike through the snow.
