Hazardous Driving
Be careful when applying sudden regenerative braking on slippery surfaces:
The sudden change in tire speed could cause the tires to skid. This could lead to loss of vehicle control and an accident.
When driving on ice or in water, snow, mud, sand, or similar hazards:
-
Be cautious and allow extra distance for braking.
-
Avoid sudden braking and sudden maneuvering.
-
Do not pump the brakes. Continue to press down on the brake pedal.
Refer to Antilock Brake System (ABS) (Search).
-
For more traction in starting on slippery surfaces such as ice or packed snow, use sand, rock salt, chains, carpeting, or other nonslip material under the front wheels.
