COLD WEATHER
PRECAUTIONS
The functional operation of some
components and systems can be affected
at temperatures below approximately
-13°F (-25°C).

DRIVING ON SNOW AND ICE

WARNING: If you are driving in
slippery conditions that require tire
chains or cables, then it is critical that
you drive cautiously. Keep speeds down,
allow for longer stopping distances and
avoid aggressive steering to reduce the
chances of a loss of vehicle control
which can lead to serious injury or death.
If the rear end of your vehicle slides while
cornering, steer in the direction of the
slide until you regain control of your
vehicle.
On ice and snow, you should drive more
slowly than usual. Your vehicle has a four
wheel anti-lock brake system, do not pump
the brake pedal. See Anti-Lock Braking
System Limitations (page 186).

BREAKING-IN

You need to break in new tires for
approximately 300 mi (480 km). During
this time, your vehicle may exhibit some
unusual driving characteristics.

Driving Hints

• Do not operate your vehicle at high
speeds with more than two passengers
or while carrying cargo.
• It is recommended to cross speed
bumps or driveway inclines slowly and
at a 45° angle to reduce the risk of
vehicle damage.
• Do not drive through car washes with
the vehicle heavily loaded with
passengers or luggage.
• Use only commercial car washes
without mechanical tracks or hand
wash to avoid potential damage.
• Put your vehicle in stay in neutral mode
when entering an automatic car wash.
See What Is Temporary Neutral
Mode (page 183).
DRIVING IN SPECIAL
CONDITIONS
EMERGENCY MANEUVERS
In an unavoidable emergency where you
must make a sudden sharp maneuver, turn
the steering wheel only as rapidly and as
far as required to avoid the emergency.
Apply smooth pressure to the accelerator
pedal or brake pedal as needed. Avoid
abrupt steering, acceleration and braking
changes. Abrupt changes could increase
the risk of vehicle roll over, loss of vehicle
control and personal injury. If possible, use
any available road surfaces to bring your
vehicle under control.
