that is suitable for the main weather conditions in winter.
■ Prepare to use oil suitable for outdoor temperature during winter driving.
• Engine oil
• Engine coolant
• Washer fluid
● Make sure the battery performance is favorable.
● If necessary, install four snow tires on the vehicle or purchase a set of anti-skd chains for driving wheels.
Ensure that all tires are of the same size and brand, and that the chains match the size of the tires.
■ Before driving the vehicle
Take the following measures based on the driving conditions:
● Do not forcibly open the frozen window or move the frozen wipers. Always use warm water to melt the
frozen parts. Wipe the melt water immediately to prevent icing again.

● Periodically check for and remove any ice or snow that may have accumulated in the wheel housing or on
the brakes.
