Driving on Snow or Ice Most of the time, those places where your tires meet the road probably have goodtraction. However, if thereis snow or icebetween your tires and the road, you can have a veryslippery situation. You'll have alot less traction or "grip" and will need tobe very careful. What's the worsttime for this? "Wet ice." Very cold snow or ice can be slick and hard to drive on. But wet ice can be even more trouble because it may offer the least traction of all. You can get wet ice when it's about freezing (32°F; OOC) and freezing rain begins to fall. Try to avoid driving on wet ice until salt and sand crews can get there. Whatever the condition -- smooth ice, packed, blowing or loose snow -- drive with caution. Keep your traction control system on. It improves your ability to accelerate when driving on a slippery road. Even though your vehicle has the TCS system, you'll want to slow down and adjust your driving to the road conditions. See "Traction Control System" in the Index. 4-25
