TIPS ON SAFE AND SMOOTH OPERATION
Before Sitting in the Driver's Seat
Remove snow and ice from your shoes
when getting into the vehicle. If you try to
drive with snow on your shoes, your shoes
would slip on the pedals and you would
not be able to press the pedals properly,
meaning that your driving would be
inconsistent. Also, the cabin could become
more humid, causing the glass to fog up.
Starting the Engine
When you start the engine, check that the
accelerator pedal works smoothly.
Before Driving in Cold Regions
Getting In and Out of the Vehicle
The step can get icy in cold regions. Be careful not to slip when getting in and out of
the vehicle.
Check the Fuel Level
Fuel consumption becomes higher when
tire chains are used. Check how much fuel
you need to reach your destination and top
up the tank in advance.
