After a heavy fall of snow, clear the air
inlets in front of the windshield that the

can fu nction correctly.
ln rinter, we also suggest carrying the
bllowing items in the car:
Sand, for starting on ice-covered slopes;
A shovel to dig the car out of drifts;
A board to act as a firm support for the
jack;
Handbrush and scraper to remove ice
and snow from the body and windows.
Car stuck in deep snow, sand, mud etc.:
Do not press the accelerator down too
far; before the rear wheels sink in too
deeply, place some form of support
beneath them (in an emergency the car's
floor mats can be used). lt may help to
apply the handbrake lightly to stop one
rear wheel from spinning. lf this remedy
works, do not forget to release the
handbrakeimmediatelyafterwards.
