2

Drive slowly and do not brake sharply

In rain and snow, the ground is slippery, the friction coefficient drops sharply, and if the driver slams on the brakes, the vehicle will be in an unstable state, and it is very likely that the vehicle will slip or even overturn. Therefore, the driver should improve the early warning ability, in case of the situation in advance to decelerate, the deceleration is mainly to the size of the throttle force to control, to avoid the side slippage caused by stepping on the brake; in case of emergency, tap the brake, hold the steering wheel, if necessary, take the way to reduce gear, pull the handbrake and other ways to slow down, so that the vehicle is always under their control.

3

Minimize overtaking and paralleling

The control of the vehicle in rain and snow is more difficult than in normal weather, so try to minimize the back and forth parallel and overtaking during driving, try to choose to follow the car, and do not grab the limelight.

4

Increase the distance

When the vehicle brakes on slippery roads, the braking distance is extended. Driving on slippery roads, while reducing the speed, you should also increase the safety distance between you and the car in front of you, and reserve enough reaction time for yourself to avoid traffic accidents.

5

Use lights correctly

Visibility is usually low on rainy and snowy days, and the correct use of lights is especially important. In the necessary case, fog lights and low beam lights should be turned on to help the driver see the traffic situation in front of them as clearly as possible; in addition, if necessary, the contour lights and front and rear position lights should also be turned on to indicate the existence of their own vehicles, so that the vehicles driving in front of and behind can see their specific location and traffic conditions.

What should I do if I get out of control and slip?

Once the vehicle is out of control and slipping, the brakes should be immediately released and the steering wheel should be turned slightly in the direction of offset to correct the direction of the body. Then lightly press the brakes and slowly brake.

ABS and EPS functions should be enabled
