Driving on Snow or Ice

Most of the time, those places where the tires

meet the road probably have good traction.

However, if there is snow or ice between the 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.

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 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.

Whatever the condition — smooth ice, packed,

blowing, or loose snow — drive with caution.

StabiliTrak

improves your ability to accelerate

when driving on a slippery road. Even with

StabiliTrak

, you will want to slow down and adjust

your driving to the road conditions. Under certain

conditions, you might want to turn the traction

control part of the StabiliTrak

System off, such as

when driving through deep snow and loose

gravel, to help maintain vehicle motion at lower

speeds. See StabiliTrak

System on page 337 and

If Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice, or

Snow on page 360.
