Driving in winter
Driving in winter
At the beginning of winter, have your
vehicle winterised by a qualified
specialist workshop such as a smart
center.
A qualified specialist workshop such as a
smart center will check
! the condition of your winter tyres,
! the condition of the engine oil,
! the concentration of anti!corrosion
agent and antifreeze in the coolant,
! the mixture ratio in the washer system,
! the state of charge of your battery.
Electronic systems (such as esp) are not
able to overcome the laws of physics.
Adapt your driving style and speed to the
winter road conditions and exercise
caution when accelerating and braking.
Please pay particular attention to the
following notes concerning winter
driving:
! Use only wheels and tyres approved by
smart gmbh.
! Change over to winter tyres at an early
date, preferably in the autumn.
! Drive at low engine speeds.
! Avoid extreme load reversals.
! Upshift in good time (low!speed
driving) and take your foot off the
accelerator pedal when shifting gears.
! Avoid sudden, jerky movements of the
steering wheel.
! Brake your car in good time before
entering a bend.
Accident risk!
Failure to observe the notes on
gear shifting and driving in winter
conditions may result in diminished
operating stability, e.g. the rear end
could break away. lead you to cause an
accident.
Accident risk!
On bends, even electronic
systems are only capable of providing a
limited degree of stabilisation.
Always adapt your driving style to the
weather, road and traffic conditions.
You should therefore reduce your speed
before entering a bend. You could
otherwise cause an accident.
Accident risk!
Electronic control systems such
as esp are only able to stabilise the
vehicle subject to the laws of physics.
Always adapt your speed to the weather,
road and traffic conditions.
