When starting the engine in cold weather, turn off all
electrical accessories such as the lights, heating and
cooling system

defogger in order to reduce battery drain.
If you live in a region where winter is extremely cold,
an engine block heater will improve starting and

°F (-30°C) are expected, the coolant
mixture should be changed to a higher concentration
to prevent freezing. Cons ult a dealer for details.
If the exhaust system s ounds abnormal or you can
smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle, have your vehicle
checked by a dealer. There may be a problem with
