DRIVING ON SNOW
BEFORE LEAVING HOME
Before hiking out into road mountain scenery with snow and / or snow risk of weather change, we must check the condition of the tires of our vehicle and verify that we have the elements needed in an emergency. The warning triangle and reflective jacket are very important. Also essential are SNOW CHAINS. In addition, some gloves and a flashlight will be of great help in case you need to mount.
ON THE ROAD
Once on road, drive carefully and check the outside temperature thermometer to see if there may be ice on the road.
In the event of spotting snow on the road, we anticipate braking and warn the other drivers in time to prevent a dangerous situation. With snow, the stopping distance is multiplied, so you should keep a wide range of security with other vehicles. Avoid the abruptness at the wheel, drive smoothly and keep the ruts of the vehicles, and that in this way will reduce the risk of impact with curbs or potholes hidden under the snow.
STOP
If it is stopped, we must resume the circulation in a high gear (the 2nd, for example), as this will avoid wheel spin to lend them more power than necessary. In cases where it is essential, for the condition of the road or when you indicate what the traffic monitoring body, we must use mandatory for driving chains. Be placed on the drive wheels. To do this, analyse the situation, and we will withdraw as soon wears chains snow or ice.
We must be careful with the height of the underside of the vehicle, as there may be irregularities of the terrain that are hidden under the snow. In case you can not continue the march, we will contact the emergency services, including the location. Until they arrive, please stay inside the car with the heater turned-carrying vehicle fuel always enough, and never park in areas reserved for the passage of the plow, or emergency services.
If there are sheets of ice, we must first avoid the brake, especially if the vehicle is not equipped with antilock brakes. Must drive smoothly, since it can produce an oversteer-rear wheel lock-or understeer, the front wheels slip. If the vehicle has ABS, the system will act so that the loss of control will be less.
We hope you enjoy a lot of your trips to the mountains and, especially, particular caution!
