with chains installed. If you hear the
chains contacting the body or chas-
sis, stop and tighten them. If they still
make contact, slow down until the
noise stops. Remove the tyre chains
as soon as you begin driving on
cleared roads.
Your vehicle is delivered with high
quality ethylene glycol coolant in the
cooling system. It is the only type of
coolant that should be used because
it helps prevent corrosion in the cool-
ing system, lubricates the water pump

have your coolant tested to assure
that its freezing point is sufficient for
the temperatures anticipated during
the winter.
When mounting snow chains, park
the vehicle on level ground away from
traffic. Turn on the vehicle Hazard
