On snowy roads, ice can form on the braking
system, making the brakes less effective.
While driving in such conditions, pay close
attention to surrounding vehicles and to the
condition of the road surface. From time to
time, lightly depress the brake pedal and
check how effective the brakes are.
It is important to take advantage of the engine
braking by downshifting while driving on
steep downhill roads in order to prevent the
brakes from overheating.

Be careful when traveling up or down steep

tended.
Always try to park your vehicle in a well lit
area.

steering wheel.
