ice, go slowly and be very cautious in order to re-
duce the chance of skidding or sliding out of con-

reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes after
leaving water. If necessary, apply them several
times to let friction dry out the linings.

behind you when you operate in reverse. When
it is safe to proceed in reverse, go slowly.Always use the size and type of tires specified in

ing.
