Hazardous Driving Conditions

When hazardous driving elements are encountered such as water, snow, ice, mud and sand, take the following precautions:

• Drive cautiously and maintain a longer braking distance.

• Avoid abrupt braking or steering.

• When your vehicle is stuck in snow, mud, or sand, accelerate slowly to avoid unnecessary wheel spin.

• Put sand, rock salt, tire chains or other non-slip materials under the wheels to provide additional traction while the vehicle becomes stuck in ice, snow, or mud.
