SNOW DRIVING TIPS<\/strong>
The science behind traction \u2013 Someone I know drove at this facility for 6 years. https:\/\/youtu.be\/pz5da9xJenw <\/a>The Brimley Development Center is today’s proving grounds for tomorrow’s vehicles<\/p>\n\n\n\n


IF never driven in the snow –<\/strong>
Check the auto manual on how to turn on\/off traction control<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With automatic trans learn what gear 3 2 and 1 In descending order of the highest gear available:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Position 3 restricts the transmission to the lowest three gear ratios. In a 4-speed automatic transmission <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Position 2 (also labeled “S”) restricts the transmission to the lowest two gear ratios. In some cars, it is also used to accelerate from standstill in 2nd gear instead of 1st, for situations of reduced traction (such as snow or gravel). This function is sometimes called “winter mode”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going up a hill from moving or dead stop is
physics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practice in a parking lot that has snow cover and
practice turns & breaking<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Window wash fluid winter formula – Salt and
chemicals will lower visibility<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Door Gaskets- Get Frozen stuck, apply armor all
or silicone spray\/rag on the door gaskets in late
fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highway \u2013 when changing lanes expect a lack of
traction over any slush or precipitation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a blanket, flashlight, lighter, water, food bar, a small shovel, ice scraper, and brush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All-Season tires are a compromise – SNOW Tires are a different compound and tread pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a traffic snowfall event expect to double the normal time for the destination. If many businesses close at the same time- OPM govt early close\/ school early close or Bases expect too much traffic at
choke points. Off ramps to home the last 1-5 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snowfall rate per hour if over 1 inch per hour the plows and salting cannot keep up. Expect accumulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ROADS- Priority | Main Highways, State Primary, State Secondary, and County. The goal is a plowed road
within \u00bd to 1 mile to your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
