Your anti-lock brakes improve your vehicle's stability
when you 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 ma
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.
