SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT
It is recommended that the following items be
carried in the vehicle during winter:
O A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to re-
move ice and snow from the windows and
wiper blades.
O A sturdy, flat board to be placed under the
jack to give it firm support.
O A shovel to dig the vehicle out of snow-
drifts.
O Extra window washer fluid to refill the
reservoir tank.
DRIVING ON SNOW OR ICE

road is salted or sanded.
O Whatever the condition, drive
with caution. Accelerate and slow
down with care. If accelerating or
downshifting too fast, the drive
wheels will lose even more trac-
tion.
O Allow more stopping distance un-
der these conditions. Braking
should be started sooner than on
dry pavement.
O Allow greater following distances
on slippery roads.
O Watch for slippery spots (glare
ice). These may appear on an
otherwise clear road in shaded
areas. If a patch of ice is seen
ahead, brake before reaching it.
Try not to brake while actually on
the ice, and avoid any sudden
steering maneuvers.
O Do not use cruise control on slip-
pery roads.
O Snow can trap dangerous exhaust
gases under your vehicle. Keep
snow clear of the exhaust pipe
and from around your vehicle.
