lock brakes improve your vehicle’s stability

when you make a hard stop on a slippery road. Even
though you have the anti

-

lock braking system, you’ll

want to begin stopping sooner than you would on dry

D Allow greater following distance on any 

slippery road.

D Watch for slippery spots. The road might be fine

until you hit a spot that’s covered with ice. On an
otherwise clear road, ice patches may appear in
shaded areas where the sun can’t reach: around
clumps of trees, behind buildings or under bridges.

may 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’re actually on the ice, and avoid sudden 
steering maneuvers.

and you can hike through the snow. Here are some
things to do to summon help and keep yourself and 
your passengers safe:
D Turn on your hazard flashers.
