o Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine.
Lugging is driving too slowly in too
high a gear resulting in the engine
bucking. If this happens, shift to a
lower gear. Over-revving is racing
the engine beyond its safe limit.
This can be avoided by shifting at
the recommended speeds.

WINTER DRIVING
noted that installing tire chains on the
tire will provide a greater driving force,
but will not prevent side skids.
The more severe weather conditions
of winter result in greater wear and
other problems. To minimize the prob-
lems of winter driving, you should fol-

NOTE:
Tire chains are not legal in all prov-
inces. Check province laws before
fitting tire chains.

ated by engine power so your fuel
economy is reduced when you use
it.

Use High Quality Ethylene
Glycol Coolant
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it
may be necessary to use snow tires or
to install tire chains on your tires. If
snow tires are needed, it is necessary
to select tires equivalent in size and
type of the original equipment tires.
Failure to do so may adversely affect
the safety and handling of your car.
Furthermore, speeding, rapid accel-
eration,suddenbrakeapplications,and
sharp turns are potentially very haz-
ardous practices.
During deceleration, use engine brak-
ing to the fullest extent. Sudden brake
applications on snowy or icy roads
may cause skids to occur. You need to
keep sufficient distance between the
vehicle in front and your vehicle. Also,
apply the brake gently. It should be

tures anticipated during the winter.
