Winter driving
More severe weather conditions of win

gestions:
Snowy or icy conditions
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it
may be necessary to use snow tyres or
to install tyre chains on your tyres. If
snow tyres are needed, it is necessary to
select tyres equivalent in size and type
of the original equipment tyres. Failure
to do so may adversely affect the safety
and handling of your car. Furthermore,
speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden
brake applications, and sharp turns are
potentially very hazardous practices.
During deceleration, use engine braking
to the fullest extent. Sudden brake appli
-
cations on snowy or icy roads may cause
skids to occur. You need to keep suffi
-
cient distance between the vehicle in
operation in front and your vehicle. Also,
apply the brake gently. It should be
noted that installing tyre chains on the
tyre will provide a greater driving force,
but will not prevent side skids.
