Driving essentials in winter
Before driving in winter, please make the necessary preparations and checks. Be
sure to drive in a manner appropriate to the prevailing winter weather conditions.
◼ Preparations for driving in winter
⚫ Use fluids suitable for outdoor temperatures.
• Coolant
• Cleaning fluid
⚫ Ensure good battery performance.
⚫ If necessary, install four snow tires on the vehicle or purchase a set of tire chains for
the drive wheel.
Make sure all tires are the same model and brand and that the chains match the tire
size.
◼ Before driving
The following measures are taken according to driving conditions.
⚫ Do not force open the frozen window or move the frozen wiper, apply warm water to
the frozen part to melt the ice, and wipe the water off immediately to prevent icing.
⚫ To ensure proper fan operation, remove snow from the air intake grille.
⚫ Remove ice that has accumulated on the vehicle chassis.
⚫ Periodically inspect and remove any snow or ice that may have accumulated on the
wheel covers or brakes.
⚫ Remove snow or mud from the soles of your shoes before you get on the car.
◼ During driving
Accelerate slowly and slow down your driving speed according to the road conditions.
Use the correct size of tire chains when installing snow chains.
The size of the chain should be adjusted according to the size of each tire.
Depending on the location and type of road, the regulations for using tire chains may vary.
Be sure to check local regulations before installing the chains.
Install the chains on the drive tires.
Retighten the chains after 0.5 - 1.0 km of driving.
