On a snow-covered or frozenroad
l The use of snow tyres or tyre chains is
recommended for driving on snow and
ice.
Refer to the “Snow tyres” and “Tyre chains” sections.
l Avoid high-speed driving, sudden accel-
eration, sudden braking, and sharp turns.
l Depressing the brake pedal during travel
on snowy or icy roads may cause tyre
slippage and skidding. Tyres may slip if the ability of the tyres to grip the roadsurface lessens. This may make it more
difficult to stop the vehicle with normal
braking operations. For vehicles with an anti-lock brake system (ABS), firmly de-
press and hold down the brake pedal.
l Allow extra distance between your vehi-
cle and the vehicle in front of you, and avoid sudden braking.
l Accumulation of ice on the braking sys-
tem can cause the wheels to lock. Pull away from a standstill slowly after con-
firming safety around the vehicle.
CAUTIONl Do not press the accelerator pedal rapidly. If
the wheels break free of the ice, the vehicle
could suddenly start moving and possibly cause an accident.
On a bumpy or rutted road
l Drive as slow as possible when driving
on bumpy or rutted roads.
CAUTIONl The impact on tyres and/or wheels when
driving on a bumpy or rutted road can dam-
age the tyre and/or wheel.
