Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before driving
the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a manner appropriate to
the prevailing weather conditions.

Pre-winter preparations
●
Use washer fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside
temperatures
●
Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire
chains for the rear tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that chains match
the size of the tires.
Due to specific characteristic, the performance of winter tire under
routine driving condition is poorer than normal equipped tire. So use of the
winter tire must be limited.
Install same tire (Brand, Size) on to wheel to ensure best safety, braking
performance and good maneuverability. Remember that you cannot reverse
the rotating direction of the tire, all tires must be replaced at same time.

mirror surface or move a wiper or outside rear view mirror that is frozen.

Periodically check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may
have accumulated on the brakes.

Accelerate the vehicle slowly and drive at a reduced speed suitable
