4-6. Driving tips
the driving conditions: 
 Do not try to forcibly open a win- 
dow or move a wiper that is fro- 
zen. Pour warm water over the  
frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe  
away the water immediately to  
prevent it from freezing. 
 To ensure proper operation of  
the climate control system fan,  
remove any snow that has accu- 
mulated on the air inlet vents in  
front of the windshield. 
 Check for and remove any  
excess ice or snow that may  
have accumulated on the exte- 
rior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis,  
around the tires or on the brakes. 
 Remove any snow or mud from  
the bottom of your shoes before  
getting in the vehicle. 
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep  
a safe distance between you and  
the vehicle ahead, and drive at a  
reduced speed suitable to road  
conditions. 
 Turn automatic mode of the park- 
ing brake off. Otherwise, the  
parking brake may freeze and  
not be able to be released auto- 
matically.
Also, avoid using the following as the  
parking brake may operate automati-
cally, even if automatic mode is off. 
• Brake hold system 
Park the vehicle and shift the shift lever  
to P without setting the parking brake. 
The parking brake may freeze up, pre-
venting it from being released. If the 
vehicle is parked without setting the 
parking brake, make sure to block the 
wheels. Failure to do so may be dan-
gerous because it may cause the vehi-
cle to move unexpectedly, possibly 
leading to an accident. 
When the parking brake is in automatic  
mode, release the parking brake after 
shifting the shift lever to P. ( P.201)
If the vehicle is parked without  
setting the parking brake, con- 
firm that the shift lever cannot be  
moved out of P. 
 If the vehicle is left parked with  
the brakes damp in cold tem- 
peratures, there is a possibility of  
the brakes freezing. 
Use the correct tire chain size when  
mounting the tire chains. 
Chain size is regulated for each tire  
size.
