Install snow chains on all 4 tires before driving over snow-covered terrain.

Snow-covered terrain may look harmless but the snow can hide many dangers. This is particularly true for stretches where you can't see the tracks left by other vehicles.

Warning

Driving through snow-covered terrain is very dangerous.

Never take routes or risks that could put you or your passengers in danger. If you cannot go on or have doubts about the safety of your route, turn back and take a new route.

Potholes, ruts, ditches, drop-offs, and other obstacles are often partially or completely hidden by the snow, especially when it is deep.

Snow-covered dangers can lead to an accident, serious personal injury, or stranding under extreme weather conditions.

Always adapt driving speed and style to load, terrain, visibility, and weather conditions.
