For cold and snowy weather
Ventilation slots
The ventilation slots in front of the windscreen should be kept
clear of leaves or brushed clear after heavy snowfall, so that the
operation of the heating and ventilation systems will not be
impaired.
Weatherstripping
To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping on the doors, bon-
net, etc., they should be treated with silicone grease.
Additional equipment
It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short-handled spade in
the vehicle during the winter so that you can clear away snow
if you get stranded. A small hand-brush for sweeping snow off
the vehicle and a plastic scraper for the windscreen and rear
window are also useful.
