Nissan Sentra Owners Manual: Driving on snow or ice
WARNING
- Wet ice (32°F, 0°C and freezing rain),
very cold snow or ice can be slick and
very hard to drive on. The vehicle will
have much less traction or “grip” under
these conditions. Try to avoid driving on
wet ice until the road is salted or
sanded.
- 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 traction.
- Allow more stopping distance under
these conditions. Braking should be
started sooner than on dry pavement.
- Allow greater following distances on
slippery roads.
- 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 on the ice,
and avoid any sudden steering
maneuvers.
- Do not use the cruise control (if so
equipped) on slippery roads.
- Snow can trap dangerous exhaust
gases under your vehicle. Keep snow
clear of the exhaust pipe and from
around your vehicle.
