TIPS ON SAFE AND SMOOTH OPERATION
Cleaning the Vehicle After Driving on Snowy Roads
ADVICE
On antilock brake system (ABS) equipped model, the vehicle speed sensors
are fitted on the wheels. When removing snow, ice and other incrustation, take
great care not to damage the components.
Do not use a sharp implement to remove snow. Sharp edges could damage
rubber parts.

•
CAUTION
Remove snow that has stuck to
the inside of the fenders and to
the brake hoses. Otherwise, it
may damage components. After
driving on a salted road, wash the
underside of the vehicle as soon
as possible to prevent the salt from
causing rust. Spraying water under
high pressure is an effective way to
get the salt off.
After washing the vehicle, wipe the
door openings dry.
•
•
CAUTION (Continued)
If you use the exhaust brake on a slippery road when the vehicle is not loaded,
the resulting hard deceleration can cause the back of the vehicle to swing
sideways. Exercise caution.
Avoid driving at high speeds on a dry road with winter tires.
Comply with local legal requirements when using winter tires.
