1st gear is fine but do not overrev the engine
This spot is prone to being slippery with out warning. BE CAREFULL!
A dry road is most slippery right after it starts raining. Of course any road is most slippery when it is covered in ice.
In the manual it states the 2nd gear start provides more traction when you are starting on ice or other slippery surfaces. The trans-axle will be in second gear when the vehicle begins to move. After starting in second gear, the vehicle will up-shift normally. This feature is only for improved traction only the road surface is slippery and is not intended for continuous use or when the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, ice, snow or gravel. Press the switch to turn off the feature. Leave the switch off for normal road conditions. The switch is located on the driver's side, to the left of the steering column on the lower side of the dashboard you will notice a switch to turn the 2nd gear start on or off.
When you start out in first gear on a slippery surface, the high torque from the gear multiplication makes the road wheels slip easily.With second gear start activated (or using the 2 position on Ford or Kia vehicles), the gear ratio is different. Now the slippage tends to occur in the torque converter before the road wheels slip.Be sure to switch off the second gear start when you have good pavement. Otherwise, you can overheat the transmission.I have been using this for winter driving since 1994.Note that the 2 position on GM, Chrysler, and Hyundai vehicles does NOT prevent the car from starting in first gear.
If you are a road runner, you should be able to find a wide variety of gear rather easily. Start your investigation over at Amazon.com to find what you are looking for.
Road conditions are slippery
Squeeze your brakes in slow ,steady strokes.
A slippery road refers to a road surface that is smooth and offers less traction for vehicles due to wet conditions, ice, snow, oil spills, or loose gravel. This can increase the risk of accidents as vehicles may have difficulty maintaining grip and control on the road. Drivers should exercise caution and adjust their driving behavior when encountering slippery road conditions.
when it begins to rain
it is icy and then sanded
Because of its wetness
