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 fro-

zen. 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.

●

Remove any ice that has accumulated on the vehicle chassis.

●

Periodically check for and remove any excess ice or snow that

may have accumulated in the wheel well or on the brakes.

■

When driving the vehicle

Accelerate the vehicle slowly and drive at a reduced speed suitable

to road conditions.

■

When parking the vehicle

Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P without setting the

parking brake. The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from

being released. If necessary, block the wheels to prevent inadvert-

ent sliding or creeping.
