TIPS ON SAFE AND SMOOTH OPERATION
Check the Brakes from Time to Time
CAUTION
When the vehicle is driven or •
parked on a snowy surface, ice
can form on the brakes, decreasing
their effectiveness. From time to
time while you are driving, press the
brake pedal lightly and check the
brake's effectiveness. Pay attention
to vehicles both ahead and behind
you when checking the brakes in
this way.
Also, check the brake's effectiveness •
as soon as possible when starting
to drive the vehicle after it has been
parked. If the brakes do not work
well, drive slowly and gently press
the brake pedal several times until
the brakes dry out and start working
normally.
Removing Snow from the Glass and Underbody
To maintain an adequate field of view, use
a plastic scraper to remove snow and frost
from the glass surfaces. By using a plastic
scraper, you can remove the snow and
frost without scratching the glass. At this
time, check whether the wiper blades are
frozen onto the glass.
Also, look under the vehicle and remove
any lumps of ice that are stuck to the
underbody. Be careful not to damage
components.
ADVICE
Do not use a sharp implement to remove snow. Sharp edges could damage •
rubber parts.
