rear-wheel drive vehicles and can be used to sprinkle on the snow

mind;
• Run it in a well ventilated area. Carbon monoxide can build up

• Run for a minimum of 20 minutes to allow the engine to come
up to the normal operating temperature. This will allow the oil to
circulate and will also open up the thermostat so that your
radiator anti-freeze circulates as well
• Start up the air conditioner and/or heater and run both for 10

the system
• If your vehicle has power steering, you may want to turn the
wheels a few times to keep the fluids flowing
