■

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.
