STARTING THE ENGINE AND DRIVING IN
THE WINTER
Starting the Engine in the Winter
During the winter, the engine experiences increased resis-
tance from the powertrain; the battery and the starter show
decreased capacity. Therefore, start the engine in an ap-
propriate way.
After starting the engine, allow time to warm it up before
driving the vehicle. Warming up the engine will increase its
life expectancy and help you drive safely.
The glow plugs of the diesel engine should sufficiently be warmed
up before the engine starts.
CAUTION
Driving in the Winter
Maintain at least twice as long of a normal driving distance
between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. When
stopping, shift into a lower gear to use the engine brake.
Avoid speeding, abrupt acceleration, sudden braking, or
drastic maneuvering of the steering wheel.
When ice forms on the parking brake system, an attempt to move
the vehicle without removing the ice may damage your vehicle.
Wait until the ice melts away and gently move your vehicle.
WARNING
PARKING IN THE WINTER
When the parking brake is applied in cold weather, ice may
form on the brake system and cause some difficulty mov-
ing the vehicle. When parking on a hill, first, apply the park-
ing brake. Put the shift lever into the “1” or “R” position
(Manual Transmission) or into the “P” position (Automatic
Transmission). Put a chock behind a tire and release the
parking brake.
