● Have a service technician inspec t the condition of the battery.
● Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire

mulated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis, around the
tires or on the brakes.

the vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to roa d con-
ditions.
