Starting and driving

SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT

It is recommended that the following items be
carried in the vehicle during winter:

.

A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to remove
ice and snow from the windows and wiper
blades.

.

A sturdy, flat board to be placed under the
jack to give it firm support.

.

A shovel to dig the vehicle out of snow-
drifts.

.

Extra window washer fluid to refill the
reservoir tank.

DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE

WARNING

.

Wet ice (328F, 08C and freezing rain),
very cold snow or ice can be slick
and very hard to drive on. The
vehicle will have much less traction
or “grip” under these conditions. Try
to avoid driving on wet ice until the
road is salted or sanded.

.

Whatever the condition, drive with
caution. Accelerate and slow down
with care. If accelerating or down-
shifting too fast, the drive wheels
will lose even more traction.

.

Allow more stopping distance under
these conditions. Braking should be
started sooner than on dry pave-
ment.

.

Allow greater following distances
on slippery roads.

.

Watch for slippery spots (glare ice).
These may appear on an otherwise
clear road in shaded areas. If a
patch of ice is seen ahead, brake
before reaching it. Try not to brake
while on the ice, and avoid any
sudden steering maneuvers.

.

Do not use cruise control (if so
equipped) on slippery roads.

.

Snow can trap dangerous exhaust
gases under your vehicle. Keep
snow clear of the exhaust pipe and
from around your vehicle.
