STARTING AND OPERATING
DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURFACES
TRACTION
When driving on wet or slushy road s, it is possible for a
wedge of water to build up betw een the tire and road
surface. This is know n as hyd rop laning and may cause
partial or complete loss of vehicle control and stop ping
ability. To red uce this possibility, the follow ing precau -
tions shou ld be observed :
ACCELERATION
Rapid acceleration on snow covered , wet, or other slip-
pery surfaces may cause the front wheels to pull errati-
cally to the right or left. This phenom enon occurs when
there is a difference in the surface traction und er the front
(driving) wheels.
