DRIVING TIPS
Information in this section will aid in safe controlled launches in adverse conditions.
Acceleration
Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other slippery surfaces may cause the driving wheels to pull erratically to the right or left. This phenomenon occurs when there is a difference in the surface traction under the front (driving) wheels.
When driving on wet or slushy roads, it is possible for a wedge of water to build up between the tire and road surface. This is known as hydroplaning and may cause partial or complete loss of vehicle control and stopping ability. To reduce this possibility, the following precautions should be observed:
Slow down during rainstorms or when the roads are slushy.
Slow down if the road has standing water or puddles.
Replace tires when tread wear indicators first become visible.
Keep tires properly inflated.
Maintain sufficient distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you to avoid a collision in a sudden stop.
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Limited Slip Differential (LSD) that reduces, but does not eliminate, the amount of wheel slip across a given axle for improved handling.
Driving through water more than a few inches/ centimeters deep will require extra caution to ensure safety and prevent damage to your vehicle.
