VEHICLE CARE

OTHER MAINTENANCE TIPS
After driving on a calcium chloride (salt) spayed road, wash
the bottom of your vehicle as soon as possible to avoid any
rust.
When parking on a snow-covered road, the brake system may
begin to have some ice on it. The ice will decrease your
vehicle’s braking ability. If this happens, drive at a low speed
and use the brake frequently to remove the ice. After regain-
ing the braking ability, drive your vehicle at a normal speed.
• When there is ice on the wiper blades, turning on the wiper switch
may put an extra burden on the wiper motor and damage it. Avoid
using the wipers when ice is on the blades.
• When driving on a snow-covered road, a large amount of snow
may build up under each wheelhouse. This buildup prevents the
steering wheel from moving freely. Therefore, remove the snow
buildup frequently.
WARNING
Diesel Fuel in the Winter
On an extremely cold day, paraffin, one of the chemicals in
diesel fuel, may separate from the diesel fuel. This separa-
tion makes starting the engine difficult. During the winter
season, Kerosene is added to diesel in the domestic market
to prevent the paraffin separation and secure stable flow of
the fuel through the fuel filter. The amount of added Kerosene
into diesel can vary by location and their average winter
temperatures. Therefore, to ensure an easy start on a cold
day, park your vehicle inside of a garage. If possible, fill up
the fuel tank after each driving to prevent ice from forming in-
side of the fuel system.
• Change engine oil and the fuel filter as scheduled. Contaminated
engine oil will lose its liquidity, clog the fuel filter and oil filter and
cause difficulties starting the engine.
• Do not add any additive other than Kerosene or alcohol into the
fuel tank to improve starting of the engine. The additive may de-
crease the lubricating ability of the internal fuel system; the addi-
tive may have a different flashing point. This will damage the fuel
system or produce an excessive exhaust fume.
