•
If the engine fails to start, turn the starter switch
back to the “ACC” position or “LOCK” position
and wait for the battery to recover before trying
to start the engine again.
•
As the temperature falls, battery performance
decreases. Check the battery electrolyte level
and its specific gravity.
P. 12-64
•
In cold weather, use a windshield washer fluid
additive in the concentration indicated by the
manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION
Do not use engine coolant or antifreeze since
these would damage the vehicle’s paint.
•
Occasionally check the undercarriage and
fender wells, and if necessary remove snow and
ice taking care not to damage vehicle parts as
you do so.
•
The brakes may be frozen up when the vehicle
is driven on snow-laden roads or during parking
in cold weather. Since frozen brakes are slug-
gish to function, drive your vehicle carefully
while paying attention to vehicles behind as well
as in front and checking normal function of the
brakes from time to time by slightly depressing
the brake pedal. If the brakes are sluggish,
depress the brake pedal repeatedly while driving
at a low speed until normal braking returns.
•
When parking your vehicle, select a site not
directly exposed to wind or snow and face it
away from the wind.
•
Do not apply the parking brake in extremely cold
conditions that could cause it to freeze up and
become impossible to release. In such condi-
tions, take the following steps:
1. Stop the vehicle and pull the parking brake
lever. Never park on a slope.
2. Block the wheels securely with chocks.
3. In a manual transmission vehicle, select first
gear or reverse.
In an automatic transmission vehicle, put the
range selector lever in the “P” position.
4. Release the parking brake lever.
•
On vehicles with air conditioner, operate the air
conditioner at least once a month to maintain its
functions even during the cold season when it is
not being used.
