 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.
 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 suit-
able to road conditions.
 When parking the vehicle (in the winter time or in the cold
latitudes)
Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P (automatic trans-
mission) or 1 or R (manual transmission) without setting the
parking brake. The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it
from being released. If necessary, block the wheels to prevent
inadvertent sliding or creeping.
