IMPORTANT INFORMATION
If you try to force the key into the door, you
could bend it. And if you try to pull the door
open with undue force, the rubber seal
around the door could come unstuck or
become damaged. Use warm water to melt
the ice, then quickly wipe it away and open
the door.
If the wipers, electric door mirrors, or
power windows freeze up, also use warm
water to melt the ice and then operate the
system. Otherwise, you could damage the
mechanism and drain the battery. After
that, wipe the water away.
When Ice Prevents You from Putting the Key in the Door or
Opening the Door
Winter Tires
Use winter tires of the same sizes as the
standard tires. Also, use wheels of the
same size as those with the standard tires.
A winter tire has reached its wear limit
when the tread grooves have worn to half
of the depth of the new tire. At this time,
platforms indicating that the tire can no
longer give adequate performance on snow
become visible in the grooves. Replace the
tire with a new one.
CAUTION
• Avoid sharp turns of the steering wheel and hard braking. Use the engine brake
to decelerate. When applying the brakes on snowy or icy road, lightly depress
the brake pedal several times rather than giving it one hard depress. A single
hard depress of the pedal would be dangerous because it could cause the
vehicle to slip or skid.
• Avoid driving at high speeds on a dry road with winter tires.
• Comply with local legal requirements when using winter tires.
