STARTING AND OPERATING 2–21
HAZARDOUS DRIVING
When hazardous driving is encountered
because of water, snow, ice, mud, sand or
similar hazard, follow these suggestions.
• Drive cautiously and allow extra dis-
tance for braking.
• Avoid sudden movements in braking or
steering.
• When braking depress the brake pedal
with a light up-and-down motion until the
vehicle is stopped.
• If stalled in snow, mud or sand, use 2
(second) gear (for manual transmission)
or “WINTER” mode (for automatic trans-
mission) and accelerate slowly. Accel-
erate slowly to avoid spinning.
• Use sand, rock salt, tyre chains, or
other nonslip material under the rear
wheels to provide traction when stalled
in ice snow or mud.
