NOTE
* Do not use the parking brake in freezing weather as it may freeze. Instead, shift to P with an automatic transaxle and to
1 or R with a manual transaxle. Block the rear wheels.
* Remove snow before driving. Snow left on the windscreen is dangerous as it could obstruct vision.
* Do not apply excessive force to a window scraper when removing ice or frozen snow on the mirror glass and windscreen.
* Never use warm or hot water for removing snow or ice from windows and mirrors as it could result in the glass cracking.
* Drive slowly. Braking performance can be adversely affected if snow or ice adheres to the brake components.
If this situation occurs, drive the vehicle slowly, releasing the accelerator pedal and lightly applying the brakes several times until
the brake performance returns to normal.
Snow Tyres
WARNING
Use only the same size and type tyres (snow, radial, or non-radial) on all four wheels:
Using tyres different in size or type is dangerous. Your vehicle's handling could be greatly affected and result in an accident.
CAUTION
Check local regulations before using studded tyres.
Use snow tyres on all four wheels
Do not exceed the maximum permissible speed for your snow tyres or legal speed limits.
Europe
When snow tyres are used, select the specified size and pressure (page 9-10).
Tyre Chains
Check local regulations before using tyre chains.
CAUTION
* Chains may affect handling.
* Do not go faster than 50 km/h (30 mph) or the chain manufacturer's recommended limit, whichever is lower.
* Drive carefully and avoid bumps, holes, and sharp turns.
* Avoid locked-wheel braking.
* Do not use chains on a temporary spare tyre; it may result in damage to the vehicle and to the tyre.
* Do not use chains on roads that are free of snow or ice. The tyres and chains could be damaged.
* Chains may scratch or chip aluminium wheels.
