and overpasses, could be ice covered and
slippery even at an outside temperature
above 41 °F (+S °C).
- Always remember, even if the "snow-
flake " symbol (ice warning) does not ap-
pear in the display, black ice could be on
the road.
-Always reduce your speed and drive with
special care in cold weather conditions
when the chance of encountering icy
road surfaces increases.
