Driving tips/Winter driving
for ordinary front wheel drive vehicles.
For safety purpose as well as to avoid
damaging the AWD system, you should
keep the following tips in mind:
.
An AWD vehicle is better able to climb
steeper roads under snowy or slippery
conditions than a front wheel drive vehicle.
There is little difference in handling,
however, during extremely sharp turns or
sudden braking. Therefore, when driving
down a slope or turning corners, be sure
to reduce your speed and maintain an
ample distance from other vehicles.
.
Never attempt to drive through pools
and puddles, or roads flooded with water.
Water entering the engine air intake or the
exhaust pipe or water splashing onto
electrical parts may damage your vehicle
and may cause it to stall.
.
An AWD vehicle can be used to
traverse difficult areas covered with snow,
mud and slush, or sand and dirt. It is,
however, designed as an all-road vehicle
and not as an all-terrain vehicle. For this
reason, an AWD vehicle should be
handled with as much care as an ordinary
passenger vehicle.
.
Always check your brakes for effec-
tiveness immediately after driving in sand,
mud or puddle. Do this by driving slowly
and stepping on the brake pedal. Repeat
that process several times to dry out the
brake discs and brake pads.
.
Always check the cold tire pressure
before starting to drive. The recom-
mended tire pressure is provided on the
tire placard, which is located under the
door latch on the driver
’
s side.
.
Tire chains should always be placed on
the front wheels only.
.
Frequent driving of an AWD vehicle
under hard-driving conditions such as
steep hills or dusty roads will necessitate
more frequent replacement of the follow-
ing items than that specified in
“
Mainte-
nance schedule

11-3.

Winter driving
&
Operation during cold
weather
Carry some emergency equipment, such
as tire chains, a window scraper, a bag of
sand, flares, a small shovel, and jumper
cables.
Check the battery and cables. Cold
temperatures reduce battery capacity.
The battery must be in good condition to
provide enough power for cold winter
starts.
It normally takes longer to start the engine
in very cold weather conditions. Use an
engine oil of a suitable grade and viscosity
for cold weather. Using heavy summer oil
will make it harder to start the engine.
Keep the door locks from freezing by
squirting them with deicer or glycerin.
Forcing a frozen door open may damage
or separate the rubber weather strips
around the door. If the door is frozen,
use hot water to melt the ice, and after-
wards thoroughly wipe the water away.
Use a windshield washer fluid that con-
tains an antifreeze solution. Do not use
engine antifreeze or other substitutes
because they may damage the paint of
