The 5.6 - liter V8 provides sufficient muscle to cope with in - town traffic or freeway overtaking and, while the QX56's tall profile and curb weight of nearly three tons can elicit considerable body roll during really brisk cornering or transition maneuvers (as would be reasonably expected of such a vehicle during such driving), its standard and driver - selectable Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) package provides reassurance, particularly
during slippery conditions.
Besides eliminating drivetrain loss, the all - wheel - drive system can disperse torque even more efficiently with the electric motors
during slippery conditions.

The rain and
slippery conditions caught out Martin Hunt
during the Kinrara Trophy race with his AC Cobra sadly smashing into the barrier.
Mazda's all - wheel drive system, which sends 100 percent of torque to the front wheels

During the winter months xDrive will help you conquer snow, slush, and

conditions, but it is also perfectly suited for travel on gravel roads and cottage trails.
... but really handy if you live somewhere
slippery conditions are very very common
during winter time.
Using vehicle speed and steering angle data, Motion - Adaptive EPS works with Honda's Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA ®) and Electric Power Steering to detect instability in
slippery road
conditions both
during cornering and under braking and automatically initiates steering inputs aimed at prompting the driver to steer in the correct direction.
The system incorporates driving stability technology that initiates steering inputs that prompt the driver to steer in the correct direction
during cornering and in
slippery road
conditions.
This mode may not be ideal to use when wanting to drive in a sedate manner; nor when road
conditions are very
slippery, due to ice, snow or torrential rain — because loss of tire traction may be experienced (wheel spin
during acceleration, and may also result in road wheel locking
during downshifts at high engine rpms under closed throttle).
In
slippery conditions (such as wet or icy roads), as well as
during cornering at high lateral G, the system creates a yaw moment by applying braking force to the inside wheel, thus generating more turning force and reducing understeer.
Honda equips the CR - V with its Motion - Adaptive electric power steering system that interfaces with the standard stability control to automatically encourage proper corrective inputs when it senses
slippery or uneven road
conditions during cornering or braking.
Electronics exercise even more delicate control, providing improved traction in wet and
slippery conditions, and ensuring that traction is not interrupted
during drifts.
Dry weather in comparison to wet weather
conditions is completely different as the track becomes
slippery during wet weather
conditions with the rear of the car often unexpectedly stepping out which needs to be quickly corrected to avoid the potential of your car aquaplaning.
Parking lots may also become
slippery during inclement weather, causing ideal
conditions for a slip and fall accident to occur.
Driving
during the winter months can be hazardous due to
slippery roads, snow, storms, freezing rain, poor visibility and other adverse winter
conditions.
The main reason is because cars tend to lose grip
during these weather
conditions, and controlling it in
slippery environments will be almost impossible if you are carelessly driving on the road.
Also, weather
conditions can greatly affect your driving especially
during thunderstorms and snowstorms where the road gets
slippery and maneuvering a car becomes a really difficult that even the best defensive driving technique learned at a Driving education can even prevent accidents from happening.
During bad weather
conditions roads are very
slippery since asphalt loose essential grips, thus, using cruise control is not advisable since alertness plays a vital part when driving to prevent mishaps and delays to other motorists.
