Hazardous Driving
WARNING:
Be extremely careful if it is necessary to
downshift on slippery surfaces:
Downshifting into lower gear while
driving on slippery surfaces is
dangerous. The sudden change in tire
speed could cause the tires to skid.
This could lead to loss of vehicle control and an accident.
Do not rely on ABS as a substitute for
safe driving:
The ABS cannot compensate for
unsafe and reckless driving, excessive
speed, tailgating (following another
vehicle too closely), driving on ice and
snow, and hydroplaning (reduced tire
friction and road contact because of
water on the road surface). You can
still have an accident.
When driving on ice or in water, snow, mud, sand, or similar hazards: - Be cautious and allow extra distance for braking.
- Avoid sudden braking and sudden maneuvering.
- If your vehicle is not equipped with ABS, brake with the pedal by using a light up-down motion. Do not hold the pedal down constantly.
If your vehicle is equipped with ABS, do not pump the brakes. Continue to press down on the brake pedal.
Refer to Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).
- If you get stuck, select a lower gear and accelerate slowly. Do not spin the front wheels.
- For more traction in starting on slippery surfaces such as ice or packed snow, use sand, rock salt, carpeting, or other nonslip material under the front wheels.
NOTE:
Use snow chains only on the front wheels.
