Snow Driving Guide

The ice and snow sections are mainly winter roads in the north (including graded and non-hierarchical roads), the alpine northwest plateau, and frozen lakes and rivers in winter.

When driving on snow with a depth of 5 cm or less, it may only happen that when the vehicle is started or braked, it is easy to run. Regardless of asphalt or mud land, we can use common driving methods at this time, but we should not drive too fast.

"Slow" word attention to observe the traffic

The ice and snow sections are mainly winter roads in the north (including graded and non-hierarchical roads), the alpine northwest plateau, and frozen lakes and rivers in winter. When driving on snow with a depth of 5 cm or less, it may only happen that when the vehicle is started or braked, it is easy to run. Regardless of asphalt or mud land, we can use common driving methods at this time, but we should not drive too fast.

When the snow is too deep, 4H (four-wheel drive high speed gear) must be used to drive the first or second gear. Many parts in the north may need to install tire chains.

When you drive on a seemingly flat snow, you must also pay attention to the topography and the terrain on both sides of the road. Pay attention to what is the pit and the roadside ditch. Snow will deceive your eyes under the influence of the wind. The best way to avoid going astray is to slow down and observe.

When crossing the snow or crossing obstacles, keep the vehicle moving slowly.

How does the car slide into the ditch?

Don't be nervous if there is an accident. If you slide into the ditch, you can use a 4L (four-wheel drive low gear) first gear or second gear, and weave grass or mud on the tires. If not, you can use the car mats or clothes. After you increase the friction between the tire and the snow, you can get out.

What to do if you come across "Earth Piercing"

When the ice and snow melt, they will form ice on the ground, which is commonly known as “ground piercing”. The essentials for driving on this road are the same as those of frozen lakes and rivers. First of all, it is very dangerous, and it is easy to get difficult to master the direction and the situation that the vehicle is out of control. In this case, you must use not only a 4L block, but also a crawl at a very low speed. If you have a slope on your doorstep, you have to More than a few degrees of frozen roads, then the best way to go out today is to walk.

The last point to be reminded is that when driving on this kind of icy and snowy roads, you must avoid sudden acceleration, sudden braking, and rushing directions, especially in the up and down slopes and corners. Artificial "ABS effect" and slow play direction.

How to do if the car is stuck in snow

If the vehicle is stuck in a tire, turn the steering wheel back and forth, which will help the vehicle out of trouble. If the vehicle has been trapped, stop and analyze the situation. If you need snow chains, install them on the front wheels.

After the vehicle is trapped, it should be dug along the circumference of the tire and then place a foot pad in front of the tire. Gently rock the vehicle back and forth, and turn the steering wheel repeatedly until the adhesion is restored. If necessary, the tire pressure can be reduced to obtain greater adhesion.
