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 appro-
priate way.
After starting the engine, allow time to warm it up before driv-
ing 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 dras-
tic 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 moving
the vehicle. When parking on a hill, first, apply the parking
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 park-
ing brake.
