Winter driving tips

Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before driving

the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a manner appropri-

ate to the prevailing weather conditions.

 Pre-winter preparations

 Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tem-

peratures.

• Engine oil

• Engine coolant

• Washer fluid

 Have a service technician inspect the condition of the battery.

 Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set

of tire chains for the front tires.

Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand and that their wear

level is not noticeably different with each other. Also make sure that

chains match the size of the tires.

 Before driving the vehicle

Perform the following according to the driving conditions:

 Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is

frozen. Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice.

Wipe away the water immediately to prevent it from freezing.

 To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan,

remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents

in front of the windshield.

 Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have

accumulated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis,

around the tires or on the brakes.

 Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes

before getting in the vehicle.
