approved de-icer fluid or glycerine into the key
opening. If a lock is covered with ice, squirt it

ice. If the lock is frozen intemally, you may be
able to thaw it out by using a heated key.
Mandle the heated key with care to avoid bum-
ing your fingers.
NOTE:
The proper temperature for using the immo-
bilizer key is from -40°C to 80°C. tf you heat
the immobilizer key over 80°C to open the
frozen lock, it may cause damage to the
transponder in its head.

Don't Let Your Parking Brake Freeze
Under some conditions your parking brake can
freeze in the engaged position. This is most
likely to happen when there is an accumulation
of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or
if the brakes are wet. If there is a risk the
parking brake may freeze, apply it only tempo-
rarily while you put the gear selector lever in
"P" (automatic) or in first or reverse gear (man-
ual transaxle) and block the rear wheels so the
car cannot roll. Then release the parking brake.

HIGH SPEED MOTORING
Pre-Trip Inspections
1. Tires;
Adjust the tire inflation pressures for highway
driving. Lowtire inflation pressures will result in
overheating and possible failure of the tires.
Avoid using wom or damaged tires which may
result in reduced traction or tire failure.
NOTE:
Never exceed the maximum tire inflation
pressure shown on the tires.
2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil; High
speed travel consumes 1.5 times more fuel
than urban motoring. Do not forget to check
both engine coolant and engine oil.
3. Drive belt;
A loose or damaged drive belt may result in
overheating of the engine.
