Depending on the severity of the weather where
you drive your car, you should carry appropri-
ate emergency equipment. Some of the items
you may want to carry include tire chains, tow
straps or chains, fiashlight,  emergency flares,
sand,  a  shovel,  jumper  cables,  a   window
scraper, gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a blan-
ket, etc.
To keep the water in the window washer sys-
tem from freezing, add an approved anti-freeze
solution in accordance with instructions on the
container. Window washer anti-freeze is avail-

Don't Let Your Parking Brake Freeze
Under some conditions your parking brake can
freeze in the engaged position.  This is most
likely to happen when there is an accumulation
of snow or ice around or near the rear brakes or
if the  brakes  are  wet.  If there  is  a  risk  the
parking brake may freeze, apply it only tempo-
rarily  while you put the gear selector lever in
"P" (automatic) or in first or reverse gear (man-
ual transaxle) and block the rear wheels so the
car cannot roll. Then release the parking brake.
HIGH SPEED MOTORING
Pre-Trip Inspections
1. Tires;
Adjust the tire inflation pressures for highway
driving. Lowtire inflation pressures will result in
overheating and possible failure of the tires.
Avoid using wom or damaged tires which may
result in reduced traction or tire failure.
C160G01AGAT
To Keep Locks from Freezing
To  keep  the  locks  from  freezing,  squirt  an
approved de-icer fluid or glycerine into the key
opening. If a lock is covered with ice,  squirt it
with an approved de-icing fluid to remove the
ice. If the lock is frozen intemally, you may be
able  to  thaw  it  out  by  using  a  heated  key.
Mandle the heated key with care to avoid bum-
ing your fingers.
NOTE:
Never exceed the   maximum tire  inflation
pressure shown on the tires.
NOTE:
C160J01A-AAT
Don't Let Ice and Snow Accumulate
Underneath
Under some conditions, snow and ice can build
up  under the  fenders  and  interfere  with  the
steering. When driving in severe winter condi-
tions where this may happen, you should peri-
odically check undemeath the car to be sure
the  movement  of  the  front wheels  and  the
steering components are not obstructed.
The proper temperature for using the immo-
bilizer key is from -40°C to 80°C. tf you heat
the immobilizer key over 80°C to open the
frozen  lock,  it may cause damage to the
transponder in its head.
2.  Fuel,  engine coolant and   engine oil;  High
speed  travel  consumes  1.5  times  more  fuel
than  urban motoring.  Do not forget to check
both engine coolant and engine oil.
3. Drive belt;
A  loose or damaged drive belt may result in
overheating of the engine.
