WARNING:
. Whatever the condition, drive with caution.
Accelerate and decelerate with great care. If
accelerating or decelerating too fast, the
drive wheels will lose even more traction.
. Allow more stopping distance in cold weath-
er driving. Braking should be started sooner
than on dry pavement.
. Keep at a greater distance from the vehicle
in front of you on slippery roads.
. Wet ice (08C, 328F and freezing rain), very
cold snow and ice can be slick and very
difficult to drive on. The vehicle will have a
lot less traction or grip under these condi-
tions. Try to avoid driving on wet ice until the
road is salted or sanded.
. Watch for slippery spots (glaring ice). These
may appear on an otherwise clear road in
shaded areas. If a patch of ice is seen ahead,
brake before reaching it. Try not to brake
while actually on the ice, and avoid any
sudden steering maneuvers.
. Do not use cruise control on slippery roads.
. Snow can trap dangerous exhaust gas under
your vehicle. Keep snow clear of the exhaust
pipe and from around your vehicle.

weather conditions, the battery fluid may freeze and
damage the battery. To maintain maximum efficiency,
the battery should be checked regularly. For details,
see “Battery” (P.8-20) of this manual.

TIRE EQUIPMENT
T32A130827-77A3E381-71B6-489C-8E41-9907068B0B92
1. If you have snow tires installed on the front/rear
wheels of your vehicle, they should be of the same
size, loading range, construction and type (bias,
bias-belted or radial) as the rear/front tires.
2. If the vehicle is to be operated in severe winter
conditions, snow tires should be installed on all
four wheels.
3. For additional traction on icy roads, studded tires
may be used. However, some countries, provinces
and states prohibit their use. Check local, state
and provincial laws before installing studded tires.
Skid and traction capabilities of studded
snow tires, on wet or dry surfaces, may be
poorer than that of non-studded snow tires.
4. Snow chains may be used if desired. Make sure
they are the proper size for the tires on your
vehicle and are installed according to the chain
manufacturer’s instructions. Use chain tensioners
when recommended by the tire chain manufac-
turer to ensure a tight fit. Loose end links of the tire
chains must be secured or removed to prevent the
possibil ity of whipping action damage to the
