Don't let your parking brake
freeze
Under some conditions your parking
brake can freeze in the engaged po-
sition. This is most likely to happen
when there is an accumulation of
snow or ice around or near the rear
brakes or if the brakes are wet. If
there is a risk the parking brake may
freeze, apply it only temporarily while
you put the shift lever in N (for Auto-
mated Manual Transmission) or in
first or reverse gear (for manual
transmission) and block the rear
wheels so the vehicle cannot roll.
Then release the parking brake.
Don't let ice and snow accumu-
late underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice
can build up under the fenders and
interfere with the steering. When driv-
ing in severe winter conditions where
this may happen, you should periodi-
cally check underneath the car to be
sure the movement of the front
wheels and the steering components
is not obstructed.
Carry emergency equipment
Depending on the severity of the
weather, you should carry appropri-
ate emergency equipment. Some of
the items you may want to carry in-
clude tire chains, tow straps or chains,
flashlight, emergency flares, sand,
shovel, jumper cables, window scrap-
er, gloves, ground cloth, coveralls,
blanket, etc.
Don't place foreign objects or
materials in the engine compart-
ment
Placement of foreign objects or mate-
rials which prevent cooling of the en-
gine, in the engine compartment, may
cause a failure or combustion. The
manufacturer is not responsible for
the damage caused by such place-
ment.
