IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Removing Snow from the Underbody
Look under the vehicle and remove any lumps of ice that are stuck to the underbody.
Be careful not to damage components.
ADVICE
• Do not use a sharp implement to remove snow. Sharp edges could damage
rubber parts.
Driving on Poor Road Surfaces (Sand or Mud)
When you cannot avoid driving through
deep mud, using tire chains is an effective
way to avoid getting stuck.
ADVICE
• When driving in sand or mud, avoid hard braking, sudden acceleration and
sharp turns of the steering wheel. Such actions could get the vehicle stuck and
make it impossible to extricate.
• After driving through deep mud, any mud stuck to the vehicle can harm the
steering, brakes and powertrain. Wash the vehicle and remove all mud and
other incrustation.
• In models with automatic transmission, shift the transmission to the manual
mode and then shift to 2nd or 1st gear to avoid overheating the transmission
when towing or when driving slowly in mud, sand, on snowy roads or steep
inclines.
• The vehicle speed sensors are fitted on the wheels. When removing mud and
other incrustation, take great care not to damage the components.
• Do not use a sharp implement to remove mud. Sharp edges could damage
rubber parts.
