NOTE:
Remove snow before driving. Snow left on
the windshield is dangerous as it could
obstruct vision.
Drive slowly. Braking performance can be
adversely affected if snow or ice adheres
to the brake components. If this situation
occurs, drive the vehicle slowly, releasing
the accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the brake
performance returns to normal.
Do not open or close the soft top when the
te
mperature is 41°F (5°C) or less. The mate-
rial of the soft top could be damaged by
f
r
eezing.
Do not apply excessive force to a window
sc
raper when removing ice or frozen snow on
the mirror glass and windshield.
Never use warm or hot water for removing
sn
ow or ice from windows and mirrors as it
could result in the glass cracking.
Snow Tires
If your vehicle is equipped with the tire pres-
sure monitoring system on a vehicle with
r
u
n-flat tires, the system may not function
correctly when using tires with steel wire
reinforcement in the sidewalls.
Use Snow Tires on all Four Wheels:
Do not
exceed the maximum permissible speed for
your snow tires or legal speed limits.
When snow tires are used, select the speci-
fied size and pressure.
Tire Chains
Check local regulations before using tire
ch
ains.
If your vehicle is equipped with the TPMS
sy
stem, the system may not function
correctly when using tire chains.
Install the chains on the rear tires only. Do
no
t use chains on the front tires.
NOTE:
Chains may affect handling.
Do not go faster than 30 mph (50 km/h) or
the chain manufacturer's recommended
limit, whichever is lower.
Drive carefully and avoid bumps, holes,
and sharp turns.
Avoid locked-wheel braking.
Do not use chains on roads that are free of
snow or ice. The tires and chains could be
damaged.
Chains may scratch or chip aluminium
wheels.
WARNING!
Using tires of different size and type
(M+S, Snow) between front and rear axles
can cause unpredictable handling. You
could lose control and have a collision.
