Subaru Snow Driving Tips NSW | Alpine driving

Описание: When you enter the alpine zone it’s important to remember that motoring in cold conditions takes special care and attention.
It is imperative to drive to suit the conditions. Be smooth with your acceleration, braking, and your steering. Keep a look out for black ice – a frozen layer of water on the road.
If there is ice on the windscreen, turn the engine on for a few minutes and run the front and rear demisters. Then scrape the windscreen with a plastic card.
Watch out for shaded areas of the road, The shade can mean that the surface on the road in that area will be different compared to an area that has had sunshine on it.
When planning your trip to the snow, always check the resort requirements for snow chains before you head off.

NSW National Parks: snow chains are not compulsory for 4WD and AWD vehicles, but we recommend you carry them during winter, especially if you’re not used to driving on alpine roads affected by snow and ice.

Victorian Resorts: all vehicles that enter an alpine resort must at all times during the snow season carry wheel chains that are to be properly fitted to your vehicle*.

*Refer to the resort website for more information concerning snow chain usage.
