turned fully to the right until the wiper blades are completely thawed
out. To thaw out the rear wiper blade, use the rear window defogger.
When driving in snow, if frozen snow starts to stick on the surface of
the windshield despite wiper operation, use the defroster with the air-
flow control dial in “
” and the temperature control dial turned fully
to the right. After the windshield gets warmed enough to melt the fro-
zen snow on it, wash it away using the windshield washer.
Snow stuck on the wiper arm prevents the wiper from working effec-
tively. If snow is stuck on the wiper arm, pull off the road to a safe
place, then remove it. If you stop the car at road side, use the hazard
warning flasher to alert other drivers.
We recommend use of non-freezing type wiper blades (winter blades)
during the seasons you could have snow and sub-zero temperature.
Blades of this type give superior wiping performance in snowy condi-
tions. Be sure to use blades that are suitable for your vehicle.
J Snow tires
WARNING
D When replacing original tires with winter (snow) tires, make
sure you use only the same size, construction and load range as
the original tires listed on the tire placard. Using other sizes and
construction may affect speedometer/odometer calibration and
clearance between the body and tires. It also may be dangerous
and lead to loss of vehicle control.
D You must install four winter tires that are of the same size, cir-
cumferences, construction, brand, and load range. Mixing other
sizes, circumferences or constructions may result in severe me-
chanical damage to the drive train of your vehicle and may affect
ride, handling, braking and speedometer/odometer calibration. It
also may be dangerous and lead to loss of vehicle control.
D Do not use a combination of radial, belted bias or bias tires
since it may cause dangerous handling characteristics and lead
to an accident.
