DRIVING TIPS Do not use your parking brake when there is a possibility it could freeze. When parking, put the transmission into "P" and block the rear wheels. Do not use the parking brake, or snow or water accumulated in and around the parking brake mechanism may freeze the parking brake, making it hard to release. Keep ice and snow from accumulating under the fenders. Ice and snow built up under your fenders can make steering difficult. During bad winter driving, stop and check under the fenders occasionally. Depending on where you are driving, we recommend you carry some emergency equipment. Some of the things you might put in the vehicle are tire chains, window scraper, bag of sand or salt, flares, small shovel, jumper cables, etc. Your vehicle can be dinghy towed (with four wheels on the ground) from the front behind a motorhome. DINGHY TOWING 32R019 CAUTION Dinghy towing requires special equipment and accessories. Please refer to your service outlet of the motorhome manufacture for the recommended equipment. NOTICE Dinghy towing does not eliminate the possibility of damage to your vehicle. 2001 MY RX300_U (OM48431U) 209
