Winter driving safety points
- The auxiliary tools such as tire
chains, windshield washer fluid,
a bag of sand, a flashlight, a
small shovel, and a boost cable
are recommended to have in
your car while driving .
- Make sure that you have
enough amount of antifreeze in
your radiator.
- Check your battery and its
cables to be in good condition.
The cold weather reduces the
battery performance; therefore,
it is better to use a good quality
battery during winter time to have
a better starter performance.
- Check the spark system for any
disconnection or damage.
- Use proper antifreeze windshield
washer fluid and make sure there
is enough amount of the fluid
inside the washer tank (do not
use antifreeze coolant in your
washer tank).
Special Driving Conditions
- Do not use the parking brake
if you feel the possibility of
freezing. This happens after
driving in snow and rain when
the temperature drops below the
freezing point. In this case use
the first and the reverse gear
instead of parking brake.
Driving in areas with large
water
When driving through water,
make sure that the water level is
lower than the wheel hubs.
Drive slowly due to the wet
brakes and the need to larger
braking distance. After driving
in large water region, apply
your brakes several times while
driving slowly to restore your
brakes to their normal condition.
Winter tires
It is recommended to use
winter tires on all four wheels.
Otherwise, the vehicle driving
control will be difficult.
When using winter tires, the
vehicle speed must not exceed
120 km/h.
The amount of tire inflation
pressure must be 4psi larger
than the one proposed on the tag
for winter tires but the inflation
pressure must not exceed the
maximum amount of the cold tire
inflation pressure written on the
tire edge.
Tire chain
Tire chain size
Using the tire chain must be based
on the traffic regulations. The tire
chain must be suitable for the
tire size. In this regard, follow the
manufacturer’s recommendation.
