If your vehicle has anti-lock brakes, apply

the brakes steadily. Do not pump the

brakes.

Driving on Snow and Ice

WARNING

If you are driving in slippery

conditions that require tire chains or

cables, then it is critical that you drive

cautiously. Keep speeds down, allow for

longer stopping distances and avoid

aggressive steering to reduce the chances

of a loss of vehicle control which can lead

to serious injury or death. If the rear end of

your vehicle slides while cornering, steer in

the direction of the slide until you regain

control of your vehicle.

Note: Excessive tire slippage can cause

transmission damage.

Four-wheel drive vehicles have advantages

over two-wheel drive vehicles in snow and

ice but can skid like any other vehicle.

Should you start to slide while driving on

snowy or icy roads, turn the steering wheel

in the direction of the slide until you regain

control.

Avoid sudden applications of power and

quick changes of direction on snow and

ice. Apply the accelerator slowly and

steadily when starting from a full stop.

Avoid sudden braking. Although a

four-wheel drive vehicle may accelerate

better than a two-wheel drive vehicle in

snow and ice, it will not stop any faster as

braking occurs at all four wheels. Do not

become overconfident as to road

conditions.

Make sure you allow sufficient distance

between you and other vehicles for

stopping. Drive slower than usual and

consider using one of the lower gears. In

emergency stopping situations, apply the

brake steadily. Do not pump the brake

pedal. See Hints on Driving With

Anti-Lock Brakes (page 158).

If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck In Mud or

Snow

WARNING

Do not spin the wheels at over 35

mph (56 km/h). The tires may fail

and injure a passenger or bystander.

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow,

it may be rocked out by shifting between

forward and reverse gears, stopping

between shifts in a steady pattern. Press

lightly on the accelerator in each gear.

Note: Do not rock your vehicle if the engine

is not at normal operating temperature,

damage to the transmission may occur.

Note: Do not rock your vehicle for more

than a minute, damage to the transmission

and tires may occur or the engine may

overheat.

Parking

WARNINGS

If the parking brake is fully released,

but the brake warning lamp remains

illuminated, the brakes may not be

working properly. See your authorized

dealer.

Always set the parking brake fully

and make sure the gearshift is

latched in P (Park). Turn the ignition

to the off position and remove the key

whenever you leave your vehicle.
