Driving PreparationCheck the following items before you start driving.
Exterior ChecksMake sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exterior t
lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
Remove any frost, snow, or ice. Remove any snow on the roof, as this can slip down and obstruct your field
of vision while driving. If frozen solid, remove ice once it has softened. When removing ice from around the wheels, be sure not to damage the
wheel or wheel components.
Make sure the hood is securely closed. t If the hood opens while driving, your front view will be blocked.
Make sure the tires are in good condition. t Check air pressures, check for damage and excessive wear.
Checking and Maintaining Tires

There are blind spots from the inside.

Exterior Checks NOTICE When doors are frozen shut, use warm water
around the door edges to melt any ice. Do not try
to force them open, as this can damage the rubber
trim around the doors. When done, wipe dry to
avoid further freezing.
Do not pour warm water into the key cylinder.
You will be unable to insert key if the water freezes
in the hole.
