Driving on Snow or Ice
traction of all. You can  get wet ice when it is about
freezing, 32°F (0°C), and freezing  rain begins to fall. Try
to avoid driving on wet  ice until salt and sand crews
can get there.
Most of the time, those  places where your tires meet
the road probably have good  traction.
However, if there is snow  or ice between your tires and
the road, you can have  a very slippery situation. You
will have a lot  less traction, or grip, and will  need to be
very careful.
Whatever the condition — smooth ice, packed, blowing,
or loose snow — drive with caution.
If you have the Enhanced  Traction System, keep the
transaxle shift lever in AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE  (D) so
the system will be able  to improve your ability to
accelerate when driving on a  slippery road. Even though
your vehicle has this system,  you will want to slow
down and adjust your  driving to the road conditions.
Under certain conditions, you may want to turn the
traction system off, such as  when driving through deep
snow and loose gravel,  to help maintain vehicle
motion at lower speeds. See  Enhanced Traction
System (ETS) on  page 4-8.
If you do not have  the Enhanced Traction System,
accelerate gently. Try not to  break the fragile traction. If
you accelerate too fast, the  drive wheels will spin
and polish the surface under  the tires even more.
Unless you have the anti-lock  braking system (ABS),
you will want to brake  very gently, too. If you do
have ABS, see  Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)  on
page 4-6. This system improves your vehicle’s  stability
when you make a  hard stop on a slippery  road.
Whether you have ABS or  not, you will want to begin
stopping sooner than you would  on dry pavement.
What is the worst time  for this? Wet ice. Very cold snow
or ice can be slick  and hard to drive on. But wet ice
can be even more trouble  because it may offer the least
