ate to the prevailing weather conditions.

●Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tem-
peratures.

● Have a service technician inspec t the condition of the 12-volt
battery.
● Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set
of tire chains for the front tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that chains
match the size of the tires.
