Snow or Ice

You must maintain a sufficient following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you.

Apply the brake gently. Rapid acceleration, sudden braking, and sharp turns are potentially very dangerous actions. When braking, use engine braking to the fullest extent. Sudden braking on snowy or icy roads may cause the vehicle to skid.

To drive the vehicle through deep snow, it may be necessary to use winter tires or install snow chains on the tires.

Always carry emergency equipment in your vehicle. Some items you may want to carry include snow tire chains, tow straps or chains, a flashlight, emergency flares, sand, a shovel, jumper cables, an ice scraper, gloves, a rag, coveralls, a blanket, etc.
