OTHER MAINTENANCE TIPS

0
After driving on a calcium chloride (salt) spayed road, wash
1
the bottom of your vehicle as soon as possible to avoid any
rust.
2
When parking on a snow-covered road, the brake system
3
may begin to have some ice on it. The ice will decrease
your vehicle's braking ability. If this happens, drive at a low
4
speed and use the brake frequently to remove the ice. After
regaining the braking ability, drive your vehicle at a normal
5
speed.

WARNING
7
• When there is ice on the wiper blades, turning on the wiper
switch may put an extra burden on the wiper motor and dam-
8
age it. Avoid using the wipers when ice is on the blades.
• When driving on a snow-covered road, a large amount of snow
9
may build up under each wheelhouse. This buildup prevents the
steering wheel from moving freely. Therefore, remove the snow
10
buildup frequently.

VEHICLE CARE

Diesel Fuel in the Winter
On an extremely cold day, paraffin, one of the chemicals in
diesel fuel, may separate from the diesel fuel. This sepa-
ration makes starting the engine difficult. During the winter
season, Kerosene is added to diesel in the domestic mar-
ket to prevent the paraffin separation and secure stable flow
of the fuel through the fuel filter. The amount of added Kero-
sene into diesel can vary by location and their average win-
ter temperatures. Therefore, to ensure an easy start on a
cold day, park your vehicle inside of a garage. If possible,
fill up the fuel tank after each driving to prevent ice from form-
ing inside of the fuel system.
CAUTION
• Change engine oil and the fuel filter as scheduled. Contaminated
engine oil will lose its liquidity, clog the fuel filter and oil filter and
cause difficulties starting the engine.
• Do not add any additive other than Kerosene or alcohol into the
fuel tank to improve starting of the engine. The additive may de-
crease the lubricating ability of the internal fuel system; the ad-
ditive may have a different flashing point. This will damage the
fuel system or produce an excessive exhaust fume.
