TIPS ON SAFE AND SMOOTH OPERATION
When Ice Prevents You from Putting the Key in the Door
CAUTION
• Use winter tyres of the same sizes as the standard tires. Also, use wheels of the
same size as those with the standard tyres.
• Winter tyres have wider contact areas, so they may interfere with other
components. Consequently, it is necessary to adjust the steering angle. After
putting winter tyres on the vehicle, have the adjustment made by your Isuzu
Dealer.
• Avoid sharp turns of the steering wheel and hard braking. Use the engine brake
to decelerate. When applying the brakes on snowy or frozen road, lightly press
the pedal several times rather than giving it one hard press. A single hard press of
the pedal would be dangerous because it could cause the vehicle to slip or skid.
or Opening the Door
If you try to force the key into the door, you
could bend it. And if you try to pull the door
open with undue force, the rubber seal
around the door could come unstuck or
become damaged. Use warm water to melt
the ice, then quickly wipe it away and open
the door.
If the wipers, electric outside mirrors, or
power windows freeze up, also use warm
water to melt the ice and then operate the
system. Otherwise, you could damage the
mechanism and drain the battery. Wipe the
water away.
Winter Tyres
A winter tyre has reached its wear limit
when the tread grooves have worn to half
of the depth of the new tyre. At this time,
platforms indicating that the tyre can no
longer give adequate performance on snow
become visible in the grooves. Replace the
tyre with a new one.
