With ON AIR water traps, you can drive with confidence knowing that your air suspension system is protected against the elements, allowing you to navigate snowy and icy roads with ease.

Chapter 1: Adjusting Ride Height for Winter Conditions One of the key advantages of ON AIR suspension systems is the ability to adjust ride height to suit different driving conditions. In this chapter, we discuss how to adjust your ride height to optimize traction and stability on icy or snowy roads. By raising your ride height slightly, you can increase ground clearance and reduce the risk of getting stuck in deep snow or slush.

Chapter 2: Choosing the Right Tire Setup Tires play a crucial role in winter driving, providing the traction and grip needed to navigate slippery roads safely. In this chapter, we discuss the importance of choosing the right tire setup for winter conditions, including selecting tires with the appropriate tread pattern and rubber compound for snow and ice. We also provide tips for maintaining proper tire pressure and checking tire tread depth to ensure optimal performance in winter weather.

Chapter 3: Adjusting Damping Settings for Improved Handling In addition to adjusting ride height, you can also optimize the damping settings of your ON AIR suspension system for winter driving conditions. In this chapter, we discuss how to adjust damping settings to improve handling and stability on icy or snow-covered roads. By selecting a softer damping setting, you can improve ride comfort and reduce the risk of losing control on slippery surfaces.

Chapter 4: Practicing Safe Driving Techniques Safe driving techniques are essential for navigating winter roads, regardless of your vehicle's suspension system. In this chapter, we discuss key driving tips for winter conditions, including reducing your speed, increasing following distance, and avoiding sudden maneuvers or abrupt braking. We also provide advice on how to handle common winter driving hazards, such as black ice, snow drifts, and freezing rain.

Chapter 5: Performing Regular Maintenance Checks Regular maintenance checks are crucial for ensuring the reliability and performance of your ON AIR suspension system during the winter months. In this chapter, we discuss the importance of performing regular maintenance checks, including inspecting air lines, fittings, and connections for signs of wear or damage, and checking fluid levels in compressors and air tanks. We also provide tips for storing your vehicle during periods of extreme cold or inclement weather.
