If you have the Traction Assist System, remember: It

helps avoid only the acceleration skid. If you do not have

this system, or if the system is off, then an acceleration

skid is also best handled by easing your foot off the

accelerator pedal.

If your vehicle starts to slide, ease your foot off the

accelerator pedal and quickly steer the way you want

the vehicle to go. If you start steering quickly enough,

your vehicle may straighten out. Always be ready

for a second skid if it occurs.

Of course, traction is reduced when water, snow, ice,

gravel or other material is on the road. For safety,

you will want to slow down and adjust your driving to

these conditions. It is important to slow down on slippery

surfaces because stopping distance will be longer and

vehicle control more limited.

While driving on a surface with reduced traction, try

your best to avoid sudden steering, acceleration

or braking (including engine braking by shifting to a

lower gear). Any sudden changes could cause the tires

to slide. You may not realize the surface is slippery

until your vehicle is skidding. Learn to recognize warning

clues — such as enough water, ice or packed snow

on the road to make a “mirrored surface” — and slow

down when you have any doubt.

Remember: Any anti-lock brake system (ABS) helps

avoid only the braking skid.

Off-Road Driving with Your

Four-Wheel-Drive Vehicle

This off-road guide is for vehicles that have four-wheel

drive. Also, see Braking on page 4-6. If your vehicle

does not have four-wheel drive, you should not

drive off-road unless you are on a level, solid surface.

Off-road driving can be great fun. But it does have

some deﬁnite hazards. The greatest of these is the

terrain itself.

“Off-roading” means you have left the great North

American road system behind. Traffic lanes are not

marked. Curves are not banked. There are no

road signs. Surfaces can be slippery, rough, uphill or

downhill. In short, you have gone right back to nature.

Off-road driving involves some new skills. And that

is why it is very important that you read this guide. You

will ﬁnd many driving tips and suggestions. These

will help make your off-road driving safer and more

enjoyable.
