●Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tempera-
tures. • Engine oil

• Washer fluid
● Have a service technician inspec t the condition of the 12-volt bat-
tery.
● Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire
chains for the front tires.

the water immediately to prevent it from freezing.
● To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan,

front of the windshield.
● Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accu-
mulated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis, around the

● Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before
getting in the vehicle.
