4-6. Driving tips

Winter driving tips

Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before

driving the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a man-

ner appropriate to the prevailing weather conditions.

Preparation for winter

● Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tempera-

tures.

• Engine oil

• Engine/power control unit coolant

• Washer fluid

● Have a service technician inspect the condition of the 12-volt bat-

tery.

● 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 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 accu-

mulated 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.

When driving the vehicle

Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a safe distance between you and

the vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to road con-

ditions.

When parking the vehicle

Park the vehicle and shift the shift position to P and block the wheel

under the vehicle without setting the parking brake. The parking brake

may freeze up, preventing it from being released. If the vehicle is

parked without setting the parking brake, make sure to block the

wheels.

Failure to do so may be dangerous because it may cause the vehicle

to move unexpectedly, possibly leading to an accident.
