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; 0 C) 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.

Keep your Enhanced Traction System on. It will

improve your ability to accelerate when driving on a

slippery road. Even though your vehicle has this system,

you’ll want to slow down and adjust your driving to the

road conditions. See “Enhanced Traction System” in

the Index.
