Driving
on
Snow
or
Ice
Most
of
the
time,
those places where your tires meet the
road probably have
good
traction.
However,
if
there
is
snow
or
ice between your tires and the
road, you can have
a
very slippery situation.
You‘ll
have
a
lot less traction or *’grip‘’ and
will
need to be very careful.
What’s the worst time for this?
“Wet
ice.”
Very cold
snow or ice
can
be
slick
and hard
to
drive
on.
But
wet
ice can be even more trouble because
it
may offer the
least traction
of
all.
You
can get “wet ice” when it’s
about freezing
(32°F;
OOC)
and freezing rain begins to
fall. Try to avoid driving on wet ice
until
salt and sand
crews can get there.
Whatever the condition
--
smooth ice, packed, blowing
or loose snow
--
drive with caution.
If
you
have
ASR,
keep the system on.
It
will improve
your
ability to accelerate when driving
on
a
slippery
road. Even though your vehicle has the
ASR
system,
you’ll
want
to
slow down and adjust
your
driving to the
road conditions. See
“ASR
System”
in
the Index.
If
you don’t have the
ASR
system, accelerate gently. Try
not to break the fragile traction. If
you
accelerate
too
fast, the drive wheels
will
spin and polish the surface
under
the
tires even more.
