TIPS ON SAFE AND SMOOTH OPERATION
Driving on Snowy or Frozen Roads (Fenders)
Pay Attention to the Way the
Steering Wheel Turns and Feels
CAUTION
• On snowy roads, water and snow
splashed up by the tires can freeze
and accumulate inside the fenders,
making the steering wheel hard
to turn. From time to time, get out
of the vehicle and remove any
accumulated snow. Do not use a
sharp implement to remove the
snow. Sharp edges could damage
rubber parts.
Check the Brakes from Time to Time
CAUTION
• When the vehicle is driven or
parked on a snowy surface, ice
can form on the brakes, decreasing
from their effectiveness. From time
to time while you are driving, press
the brake pedal lightly and check
the brake's effectiveness. Pay
attention to vehicles both ahead of
and behind you when checking the
brakes in this way.
• Also, check the brake's effectiveness
as soon as possible when starting
to drive the vehicle after it has been
parked. If the brakes do not work
well, drive slowly and gently press
the brake pedal several times until
the brakes dry out and start working
normally.
