On a snow-covered or frozen
road
l
When driving on a snow-covered or fro-
zen road, it is recommended that you use
snow tyres or snow traction device (tyre
chains).
Refer to the “Snow tyres” and “Snow
traction device (tyre chains)” sections.
l
Avoid high-speed operation, sudden ac-
celeration, abrupt brake application and
sharp cornering.
l
Depressing the brake pedal during travel
on snowy or icy roads may cause tyre
slippage and skidding. When traction be-
tween the tyres and the road is reduced
the wheels may skid and the vehicle can-
not readily be brought to a stop by con-
ventional braking techniques. Braking
will differ, depending upon whether you
have anti-lock brake system (ABS). As
your vehicle is equipped with ABS,
brake by pressing the brake pedal hard,
and keeping it pressed.
l
Allow extra distance between your vehi-
cle and the vehicle in front of you, and
avoid sudden braking.
l
Accumulation of ice on the braking sys-
tem can cause the wheels to lock. Pull
away from a standstill slowly after con-
firming safety around the vehicle.
CAUTION
l
Do not press the accelerator pedal rapidly. If
the wheels break free of the ice, the vehicle
could suddenly start moving and possibly
cause an accident.
On a bumpy or rutted road
Drive as slow as possible when driving on
bumpy or rutted roads.
CAUTION
l
The impact on tyres and/or wheels when
driving on a bumpy or rutted road can dam-
age the tyre and/or wheel.
This vehicle is intended for driving mainly
on roads with firm surface.
4WD system (if available on your vehicle)
makes possible driving on roads without spe-
cial coverage, on flat and firm surface.
Please, remember that off-road ability of your
vehicle is limited. Your vehicle is not inten-
ded for driving in heavy offroad, overcoming
the rugged terrain, deep ruts, etc.
Manufacturer of the vehicle is proceeding
from the following assumption:
taking the decision to keep driving under
conditions mentioned above, driver takes all
actions at own risk, aware of possible conse-
quences.
