STARTING AND DRIVING

Precautions for Cold Weather

It is prohibited to use lamp oil (kerosene) as the additive.
In order to reduce possible problems which may occur in cold weather,
please consider the following suggestions:
• Please use the fuel conforming to winter requirements.
• Park the vehicle in an area which can maintain the fuel temperature
above -9ºC.
• Fill the fuel tank after driving every day. This practice will reduce the
possibility of fuel condensation and accordingly reduce the influence
of water generated due to temperature rise after condensation on oil
quality.
• Replace the element of fuel filter according to the recommended
time interval.
• Maintain the battery power in normal state.
Additive may degrade the lubricating property of fuel, accelerating
wear and damage of engine and fuel injector.
