Whatever the condition — smooth ice, packed,
blowing, or loose snow — drive with caution.
StabiliTrak
®
improves your ability to accelerate
when driving on a slippery road. Even with
StabiliTrak
®
, slow down and adjust your driving to
the road conditions. Under certain conditions,
you might want to turn the traction control part of
the StabiliTrak
®
System off, such as when
driving through deep snow and loose gravel, to
help maintain vehicle motion at lower speeds. See
StabiliTrak
®
System on page 329 and If Your
Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow on
page 352.
The Antilock Brake System (ABS) improves your
vehicle’s stability when you make a hard stop
on a slippery road. Even though you have ABS,
begin stopping sooner than you would on dry
pavement. See Antilock Brake System (ABS) on
page 327.
•
Allow greater following distance on any
slippery road.
•
Watch for slippery spots. The road might be
fine until you hit a spot that is covered with
ice. On an otherwise clear road, ice patches
can appear in shaded areas where the
sun cannot reach, such as around clumps of
trees, behind buildings, or under bridges.
Sometimes the surface of a curve or an
overpass can remain icy when the surrounding
roads are clear. If you see a patch of ice
ahead of you, brake before you are on it. Try
not to brake while you are actually on the
ice, and avoid sudden steering maneuvers.
