Eight important tips.
How to ride in the snow? Not like on the ice – although both are considered winter conditions.
How to ride in the snow, the people of Ukraine manage to forget over a long period of the warm season: fortunately, in most parts of the country most of the year prevails not snowy weather. So let’s refresh our knowledge and skills.
So, what’s wrong with the snow – if he is still in the air, then stopping to see the road. If it is already on the ground, that prevents the wheels normally roll, and the leading does not start from the road, and steered wheels to change direction. It is particularly sad that even the level of car is not always plays a decisive role here. The snow, we, the motorists, can be divided into two types: fresh, intact and old, already milled wheels.
Snow slush on the road is dangerous because it is often hidden under the ice. Then you need to use the same techniques drive, and ice.
– Like on the ice, the main commandment of driving on the snow is to do everything smoothly. To add and to subtract the gas, spin the wheel, squeeze the clutch and braking – have to do everything without any sudden movements. Snow-covered road is not so slippery as ice, but snow can hide under the ice and need to be ready. In addition, during sharp maneuvers the wheels can dig deeper into the snow and cause slipping.
– In the snow – and fresh and already Packed we need to try to go a moderate speed and what is called the “level Gaza”. Because at each change of rate of motion of the driving wheels can easily stall (4×4 vehicles are affected to a lesser extent). The same faces every stop.
– You should carefully approach the selection of gear, especially if the snow is deep (over 15 cm). Excessive pull (torque) on the wheels is not necessary, but vnatyazhku (extremely low for the selected speed, the engine speed) in the snow to go too good.
How to drive on snow with an automatic transmission? Or look at the tachometer, keeping the momentum of the order of 2000-2500 rpm./min., or go to manual mode box to make it easier to control the revs. On the ACP of the old type switch limit switches up to 1 or 2, or put the selector to W (winter – winter).
– If the snow is especially deep, or under a layer of milled wheels snow there is ice, or you drive up a hill or dangerous snow-covered turn, it is important not to lose speed and stall. To hear how well the engine revs meet speed, and time to notice the beginning of a slip, eliminate all sources of cabin noise: music, fan heater, the conversations of passengers.
– To move in the snow you should also carefully as ice, perhaps in second gear – the car has not stalled in place and not “buried”. If this happens, immediately stop the slipping to the wheels is not formed in the hole. Drogas smoothly (not necessarily letting go of the clutch completely), the car swing back and forth, alternately including the first, reverse and Nakata thus, a pure path (track) of length not less than 30 – 40 cm, try to accelerate through it and go forward or backward.
– Deep, 20 – 30cm, namely on the road and drifts overcome with overclocking, making sure that on the other side of the snow obstacles there is no danger, because to stop at once you are unlikely.
A deep, but short snow Kiddle can be overcome with a little overclocking, but it is important to choose the direction in advance and to drive in the snow both front wheels – otherwise the machine can expand.
– If the trip is more or less long, clear heavy and bulky winter clothes. Without it, it will be easier to steer and move feet from pedal to pedal, to perceive body movements and sound information on the work of the power unit and the wheels.

In the event of snow, at low speed snow can adhere to glass, also in such conditions it is possible misting of the Windows. So before you go to heat the cabin, turn on the electric heating of glass might just crack the window. And do not turn on main beam, because the thick falling snow is like a fog, to “fight” you want, or passing light, or “foglights”.
