 Depressing the brake pedal during travel
on snowy or icy roads may cause tyre
slippage and skidding. When traction
between the tyres and the road is reduced
the wheels may skid and the vehicle can-
not readily be brought to a stop by con-
ventional braking techniques. Braking
will differ, depending upon whether you
have anti-lock brake system (ABS). As
your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock
brake system (ABS), brake by pressing
the brake pedal hard, and keeping it
pressed.
 Allow extra distance between your vehi-
cle and the vehicle in front of you, and
avoid sudden braking.
 Accumulation of ice on the braking sys-
tem can cause the wheels to lock. Pull
away from a standstill slowly after con-
firming safety around the vehicle.
Drive as slow as possible when driving on
bumpy or rutted roads.
CAUTION

Do not press the accelerator pedal rapidly. If
the wheels break free of the ice, the vehicle
could suddenly start moving and possibly
cause an accident.
On a bumpy or rutted road
CAUTION
 The impact on tyres and/or wheels when
driving on a bumpy or rutted road can dam-
age the tyre and/or wheel.
