Driving in hazardous conditions

When facing hazardous driving conditions, such as rain, snow, ice, sand, or similar hazards, follow these guidelines:

• Proceed with caution and keep a greater safe braking distance.
• Avoid abrupt braking and steering inputs.
• When braking in vehicles without ABS, pump the brake pedal with light pressing and releasing motions until the vehicle stops.

• If stopped in snow or sand, start in second gear. Accelerate slowly to prevent the driving wheels from spinning.
• When stopped on ice, snow, or mud, place sand, salt, chains, or other non-slip material under the driving wheels.
