Toyota Yaris: Driving Tips / Hazardous Driving
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).
- If you get stuck, select a lower gear and accelerate slowly. Do not
spin the front wheels.
- 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.
Use snow chains only on the front wheels.
WARNING
Be extremely careful if it is necessary to downshift on slippery
surfaces
Downshifting into lower gear while driving on slippery surfaces is
dangerous. The sudden change in tire speed could cause the tires to skid. This
could lead to loss of vehicle control and an accident.
