With the University of Dayton hosting the First Four NCAA Tournament, traffic in the Dayton area is going to be more congested than a normal week. In dense traffic situations combined with the unpredictable weather, it is important to have reliable brakes and a vehicle that has superior traction.

What exactly is traction? Traction allows the transfer of engine power into forward motion. The Jeep Liberty is designed to give you optimal traction in any condition. There are two different traction systems in the Jeep Liberty: the part-time Command-Trac II or full-time Select Trac II 4-wheel drive systems. Furthermore, the Jeep Liberty has an advanced brake lock differential which is an awesome feature that uses brake pressure to redistribute torque if needed.

To enhance traction, steady driving is important. When in high-traffic areas like the University of Dayton Arena, it is important to be steady behind the wheel. It is also important to stay relaxed on the throttle. Sudden movements in dense traffic can sometimes be dangerous.
There are not large hills around the arena, but if you have to travel through rolling hills to get to the First Four NCAA tournament, remember to steer straight up to maintain that traction.
