CAUTION
• On slippery roads, never accelerate
rapidly, brake hard, decelerate
rapidly or make sharp turns of the
steering wheel.
• There is a risk of reduced grip
between the tires and road surface
and of increased braking distances.
The danger of icy road surfaces
is particularly great on bridges, in
shady places and where there are
puddles. Keep your speed down and
be sure to use tire chains or winter
tires on snowy or icy road surfaces.
• Use lower gears to overcome the
retardation effect of the engine.
Apply the foot brakes lightly.
Caution on Slippery Roads
NOTE
• On a snowy or icy road with an automatic transmission model, by depressing
the brake pedal you can make a standing start in the manual mode 2nd gear
and move the selector lever to the "+" (upshift) position.
• When you want to free the vehicle from snow where the tires may slip slightly
by increasing the engine speed, you can press the ESC OFF switch to disable
just the traction control system (TCS).
• For models that are equipped with differential locks, use the differential lock
when you want to free the vehicle from snow.
