Stay Alert

Staying alert while driving in winter weather conditions is perhaps the most important thing you can do for your safety. Take frequent breaks to reenergize, have healthy snacks on hand and keep hydrated. Try to avoid eating candy or other sugary snacks that will give you a quick energy burst, but then make you crash. Carry extra food with you in case you get stranded.

 

Know How To Control Your Kia

Snow and ice can make driving tricky and knowing how your Kia will handle the weather will help keep you safe. Handle your controls with care, making sure not to clench them so tightly that you lose control. Additionally, know how to recover if you vehicle begins to skid. Never slam on your brakes and be sure to start slowing down sooner than you think you will need to.

 

If You Get Stuck

If you get caught in the snow or ice, it is usually best to stay in your Kia and wait for help. You can use your flares to attract attention, call for help on your cell phone, etc. Do your best to stay warm, running your car intermittently.
