EPB is fully released and that the
EPB indicator light is o󽗈.

braking on slippery roads. Quick
acceleration or sudden braking

operating control switches such
as window switches in a wrong
way.
Winter Driving Precautions
• Make sure the coolant is freeze-proof.
•Use coolant of the same type as the
one used originally. Fill up coolant
into the cooling system based on
ambient temperature.
•Improper coolant will damage the
cooling system.
• Check batteries and cables conditions.
•
The iron starter battery's capacity is
lower in cold weather, so they must
be fully charged when winter comes.
• Avoid door frost.

must conform to manufacturer
instructions.

washing 󽗊uid, which may damage
the vehicle paint.
• Prevent ice and snow from going under
the fender.
•If ice or snow accumulate under
the fenders, steering will be di󽗋cult.
When driving in cold weather, stop
from time to time and check for snow
and ice under the fenders.
• Have emergency tools or items
available as prevention for di󽗋cult
road conditions.
