Default Newbie question

Hi all,

Not had my Cherokee long but loving it at the same. We have had our first dusting of snow and I have never driven an auto in the snow any tips ?

I have a set of decent set of AT2's but chains are not suitable for where I go.

T.T.F.N.

D.J.

easier than manual. light acceleration, stay in 2 or 3 so that it won't pick up speed very easy, and as always if you slide, steer into it, and don't stomp your brakes.

Four wheel drive does not equal four wheel stop (in the snow and ice). Give yourself plenty of time to stop. I subscribe to the slow and low method I have seen too many people in suv's spin out on I-25 because the drove to fast for the road conditions.

Sounds simple enough ? I take it that staying in 2 or 3 the engine will brake itself as it were. There are some steep hills by me and the idea of going DOWN THEM does faze me a bit.

But thanks for the info
