8-10 Driving tips

Snow stuck on the wiper arm prevents the

wiper from working effectively. If snow is

stuck on the wiper arm, pull off the road to

a safe place, then remove it. If you stop

the vehicle 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 in which you could have snow

and freezing temperatures. Blades of this

type give superior wiping performance in

snowy conditions. Be sure to use blades

that are suitable for your vehicle.

CAUTION

During high-speed driving, non-

freezing type wiper blades may not

perform as well as standard wiper

blades. If this happens, reduce the

vehicle speed.

NOTE

When the season requiring non-freez-

ing type wiper blades is over, replace

them with standard wiper blades.

& Corrosion protection

& Snow tires

WARNING

. When replacing original tires with

winter (snow) tires, make sure

you use only the same size and

construction as reco mmended.

Using other sizes or construction

may affect speedometer/od-

ometer calibration and clearance

between the body and tires. It

also may be dangerous and lead

to loss of vehicle control.

. You must install four winter tires

that are of the same size, circum-

ferences, construction, brand,

andloadrange.Mixingother

sizes, circumferences or con-

structions may result in severe

mechanical damage to the drive

train of your vehicle and may

affect ride, handling, braking and

speedometer/odometer calibra-

tion. It also may be dangerous

and lead to loss of vehicle con-

trol.

. Do not use a combination of

radial, belted bias or bias tires

since it may cause dangerous

handling characteristics and lead

to an accident.

Your vehicle is equipped with “all season

tires” which are designed to provide an

adequate measure of traction, handling

and braking performance in year-round

driving. In winter, it may be possible to

enhance performance through use of tires

designed sp ecifically for winter driving

conditions.

If you choose to install winter tires on your

vehicle, be sure to use the correct tire size

and type. You must install four winter tires

that are of the same size, construction,

brand and load range and you should

never mix radial, belted bias or bias tires

since this may result in dangerous hand-

ling characteristics. When you choose a

tire, make sure that t here is enough

clearance between the tire and vehicle

body.

Remember to drive with care at all times

regardless of the type of tires on your

vehicle.

Your vehicle comes with P255/55R18

“all season tires” as original equip-

ment. You should be aware that some

winter tires with that same size desig-

nation may actually be too large for the

vehicle and may cause rubbing on

sharp turns. Listed in the following is

the winter tire size that we recommend.
