Driving and Operating

When Ice Prevents You from Putting
Your Key in the Door or Opening
the Door
If you try to force the key into the door,
you could bend it. And if you try to pull the
door open with undue force, the rubber seal
around the door could come unstuck or
become damaged. Use warm water to melt
the ice, then quickly wipe it away and open
the door.
If the wipers, electric door mirrors, or power
windows freeze up, also use warm water to
melt the ice and then operate the system.
Otherwise, you could damage the
mechanism and drain the battery. After
that, wipe the water away.
Before Driving in Cold Regions
Getting In and Out of the Vehicle
The step can get icy in cold regions. Be
careful not to slip when getting in and out
of the vehicle.
Before Sitting in the Driver
’
s Seat
Remove snow and ice from your shoes when
getting into the vehicle. If you try to drive
with snow on your shoes, your shoes would
slip on the pedals and you would not be
able to press the pedals properly, meaning
that your driving would be inconsistent.
Also, the cabin could become more humid,
causing the glass to fog up.
Check Fuel Level
Fuel consumption increases when tire chains
are used. Determine how much fuel you
need to reach your destination and fill up
the tank in advance.
Removing Snow from Glass and
Underbody
Do not use a sharp implement to remove
snow. Sharp edges could damage rubber
parts.
To maintain an adequate field of view, use a
plastic scraper to remove snow and frost
from the glass surfaces. By using a plastic
scraper, you can remove the snow and frost
without scratching the glass. In addition,
check whether the wiper blades are frozen
onto the glass.
Also, look under the vehicle and remove any
lumps of ice that are stuck to the
underbody. Be careful not to damage
components.
Driving on Snowy or Frozen Roads
On slippery roads, whenever possible, do not
accelerate rapidly, brake hard, decelerate
rapidly or make sharp turns of the steering
wheel.
There is a risk of reduced grip between the
tires and road surface and of increased
braking distances. The danger of icy road
surfaces is particularly great on bridges, in
shady places and where there are puddles.
Keep your speed down and be sure to use
tire chains or winter tires on snowy or
frozen road surfaces.
Use engine brakes together with the foot
brakes to decelerate. Using the exhaust
brake on a slippery road surface could cause
the tires to slip.
Pay Attention to the Way the Steering
Wheel Turns and Feels
On snowy roads, water and snow splashed
up by the tires can freeze and accumulate
inside the fenders, making the steering
wheel hard to turn. From time to time, get
out of the vehicle and remove any
accumulated snow.
