Wipe away the water immediately to prevent it from freezing.
 To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan,
remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents
in front of the windshield.
 Remove any ice that has accumulated on the vehicle chassis.
 Periodically check for and remove any excess ice or snow
that may have accumulated in the wheel well or on the
brakes.

Accelerate the vehicle slowly and drive at a reduced speed suit-
able to the road conditions.

creeping.
