I remember the first time I drove on an icy morning. I just kept spinning my tires 'til I learned to go easy on the gas. Smooth moves made the all-wheel drive feel way better.

When I used to live where it snowed a lot, I didn't trust the traction control at first. After a few scary slides, I started using the snow mode and starting the gas slowly. Winter driving was way easier that way.

I got stuck in a winter storm once on a backroad, and the all-wheel drive kept cutting power 'cause I was too heavy on the gas pedal. I finally got that going light on the gas, braking early, and using the softer traction setting kept me on the road. Ever since then, those habits have helped me with icy roads without freaking out.
