Winter driving
Severe weather conditions in the
winter result in greater wear and
other problems.
To minimise the problems of winter
driving, you should follow these
suggestions:
* Snow tyres and tyre chains for the
national language (Icelandic, Bul
-
garian) see the Appendix.
Snowy or icy conditions
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it
may be necessary to use snow
tyres or to install tyre chains on
your tyres.
If snow tyres are needed, it is nec
-
essary to select tyres equivalent in
size and type of the original equip
-
ment tyres. Failure to do so may
adversely affect the safety and
handling of your vehicle. Further
-
more, speeding, rapid acceleration,
sudden brake applications, and
sharp turns are potentially very
hazardous practices.
During deceleration, use vehicle
braking to the fullest extent. Sud
-
den brake applications on snowy or
icy roads may cause skids to occur.
You need to keep sufficient distance
between the vehicle in operation in
front of your vehicle. Also, apply the
brake gently. It should be noted that
installing tyre chains on the tyre will
provide a greater driving force, but
will not prevent side skids.
Tyre chains are not legal in all
states. Check state laws before fit
-
ting tyre chains.
Snow tyres
If you mount snow tyres on your
vehicle, make sure they are radial
tyres of the same size and load
range as the original tyres. Mount
snow tyres on all four wheels to bal
-
ance your vehicle's handling in all
weather conditions. Keep in mind
that the traction provided by snow
tyres on dry roads may not be as
high as your vehicle's original equip
-
ment tyres. You should drive cau
-
tiously even when the roads are
clear. Check with the tyre dealer for
maximum speed recommendations.
Do not install studded tyres without
first checking local, state and
municipal regulations for possible
restrictions against their use.
WARNING
Snow tyre size
Snow tyres should be equivalent in
size and type to the vehicle's stan
-
dard tyres. Otherwise, the safety
and handling of your vehicle may be
adversely affected.
