SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
Hazardous Driving Conditions
When hazardous driving elements
are encountered such as water, snow,
ice, mud and sand, take the following
precautions:
[Drive cautiously and maintain a longer
braking distance.
[ Avoid abrupt braking or steering.
[ When your vehicle is stuck in snow,
mud, or sand, use the second
gear. Accelerate slowly to avoid
unnecessary wheel spin.
[ Put sand, rock salt, tire chains or other
non-slip materials under the wheels to
provide additional traction while the
vehicle becomes stuck in ice, snow,
or mud.
WARNING
Using the paddle shifters to downshift
to a lower gear while driving on slippery
surfaces can cause an accident. The
sudden change in tire speed could
cause the tires to skid. Be careful when
downshifting on slippery surfaces.
Rocking the Vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to
free it from snow, sand, or mud, first turn
the steering wheel right and left to clear
the area around your front wheels. Then,
shift back and forth between R (Reverse)
and a forward gear.
Try to avoid spinning the wheels, and do
not race the engine.
To prevent transmission wear, wait until
the wheels stop spinning before shifting
gears. Release the accelerator pedal
while shifting, and press lightly on the
accelerator pedal while the transmission
is in gear. Slowly spinning the wheels in
forward and reverse directions causes a
rocking motion that may free the vehicle.
WARNING
If the vehicle is stuck and excessive
wheel spin occurs, the temperature
in the tires can increase very quickly.
If the tires become damaged, a tire
blow out or tire explosion can occur.
This condition is dangerous - you and
others may be injured. Do not attempt
this procedure if people or objects are
anywhere near the vehicle.
If you attempt to free the vehicle, the
vehicle can overheat quickly, possibly
causing an engine compartment fire or
other damage. Try to avoid spinning the
wheels as much as possible to prevent
overheating of either the tires or the
engine. DO NOT allow the vehicle to
spin the wheels above 35 mph
(56 km/h).

Driving in Flooded Areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no
higher than the bottom of the wheel hub.
Drive through any water slowly. Allow
adequate stopping distance because
brake performance may be reduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them several
times while the vehicle is moving slowly.
Highway Driving
Tires
Adjust the tire inflation, as specified.
Under-inflation may overheat or damage
the tires.
Do not install worn-out or damaged tires,
which may reduce traction or fail the
braking operation.
Information
Never over-inflate your tires above the
maximum inflation pressure, as specified
on your tires.
Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil
Driving at higher speeds on the highway
consumes more fuel and is less efficient
than driving at a slower, more moderate
speed. Maintain a moderate speed in
order to conserve fuel when driving on
the highway.
Be sure to check both the engine coolant
level and the engine oil before driving.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may
overheat the engine.

Driving Your Vehicle6-52
The severe weather conditions of winter quickly wear out tires and cause other
problems. To minimize winter driving problems, you should take the following
suggestions:
Snow or Icy Conditions
You need to keep sufficient distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of
you.
Apply the brakes gently. Speeding, rapid acceleration, sudden brake applications, and
sharp turns are potentially very hazardous practices. During deceleration, use engine
braking to the fullest extent. Sudden brake applications on snowy or icy roads may
cause the vehicle to skid.
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may be necessary to use snow tires or to install
tire chains on your tires.
Always carry emergency equipment. Some of the items you may want to carry include
tire chains, tow straps or chains, a flashlight, emergency flares, sand, a shovel, jumper
cables, a window scraper, gloves, ground cloth, coveralls, a blanket, etc.
Snow tires
WARNING
Snow tires should be equivalent in size and type to the vehicle’s standard tires.
Otherwise, the safety and handling of your vehicle may be adversely affected.
We recommend that you use snow tires when road temperature is below 45°F (7°C).
Refer to the below chart, and mount the recommended snow tire for your vehicle.

225/40R19 8.0Jx19 255/35R19 8.5Jx19
If you mount snow tires on your vehicle, make sure to use the same Inflation pressure
as the original tires. Mount snow tires on all four wheels to balance your vehicle’s
handling in all weather conditions. The traction provided by snow tires on dry roads
may not be as high as your vehicle’s original equipment tires. Check with the tire dealer
for maximum speed recommendations.

Summer tires
[Summer tires are used to maximize
the driving performance on dry roads.
[ If the temperature is below 44°F (7°C)
or you are driving on snowy or icy
roads, the summer tires lose their
brake performance and traction as the
tire grip weakens significantly.
[ If the temperature is below 44°F
(7°C) or you are driving on snowy or
icy roads, mount snow tires or all-
season tires of the same size with your
vehicle's standard tire for safe driving.
Both snow and all-season tires have
M+S markings.
[ When using the M+S tires, use tires
with the same tread produced by the
same manufacturer for safe driving.
[ When driving with the M+S tires with
the lower maximum allowable speed
than that of the vehicle's standard
summer tire, be careful not to exceed
the speed allowed for the M+S tires.
Tire chains
OIK062036N
Since the sidewalls on some radial tires
are thinner than other types of tires,
they may be damaged by mounting
certain types of tire chains on them.
Do not mount tire chains on vehicles
equipped with aluminum wheels; if
unavoidable use AutoSock® (fabric snow
chain or similar). Install AutoSock® after
reviewing the instructions provided
with AutoSock®. Damage to your vehicle
caused by improper use of fabric snow
chains are not covered by your vehicle
manufacturer's warranty.
Information
AutoSock is a Registered trademark of
AutoSock.

Driving Your Vehicle6-54
WARNING
The use of AutoSock® (fabric snow
chain) may adversely affect vehicle
handling:
[ Drive less than 20 mph (30 km/h)
or the AutoSock® manufacturer’s
recommended speed limit,
whichever is lower.
[ Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, sharp turns, and other road
hazards, which may cause the
vehicle to bounce.
[ Avoid sharp turns or locked wheel
braking.
Information
[Install AutoSock (fabric snow chain)
only in pairs and on the rear tires.
It should be noted that installing
AutoSock (fabric snow chain) on the
tires will provide a greater driving
force, but will not prevent side skids.
[ Do not install studded tires without
first checking local, state and municipal
regulations for possible restrictions
against their use.
Chain Installation
When installing AutoSock® (fabric
sno

w chain), follow the manufacturer's
instructions and mount them as tightly
as possible. Drive slowly (less than 20
mph (30 km/h)) with AutoSock® installed.
If you hear the fabric snow chains
contacting the body or chassis, stop and
tighten them. If they still make contact,
slow down until the noise stops. Remove
the AutoSock® as soon as you begin
driving on cleared roads.
When mounting AutoSock®, park the
vehicle on level ground away from traffic.
Turn on the vehicle Hazard Warning
Flasher and place a triangular emergency
warning device behind the vehicle (if
available).
Always place the vehicle in P (Park),
apply the parking brake and turn off the
engine before installing tire chains.
NOTICE
When using AutoSock® (fabric snow
chain):
[ Wrong size fabric snow chains or
improperly installed fabric snow
chains can damage your vehicle's
brake lines, suspension, body and
wheels.
[ If you hear noise caused by fabric
snow chains contacting the body,
retighten the fabric snow chains to
prevent contact with the vehicle
body.
[ To prevent body damage, retighten
the fabric snow chains after driving
0.3~0.6 miles (0.5~1.0 km).

Driving Your Vehicle6-56
Do not 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. When there is the risk that your
parking brake may freeze, temporarily
apply it with the gear in P (Park). Also,
block the rear wheels in advance, so the
vehicle may not roll. Then, release the
parking brake.
Do not 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 such conditions during the severe
winter, you should check underneath
the vehicle on a regular basis, to ensure
that the front wheels and the steering
components is unblocked. Carry emergency equipment
In accordance with weather conditions,
you should carry appropriate emergency
equipment, while driving. Some of the
items you may want to carry include tire
chains, tow straps or chains, flashlight,
emergency flares, sand, shovel, jumper
cables, window scraper, gloves, ground
cloth, coveralls, blanket, etc.
Do not place objects or materials in the
engine compartment
Putting objects or materials in the engine
compartment may cause an engine
failure or combustion, because they may
block the engine cooling. Such damage
will not be covered by the manufacturer’s
warranty.
Drive your vehicle when water vapor
condenses and accumulates inside the
exhaust pipes
When the vehicle is stopped for a
long time in winter while the engine is
running, water vapor may condense and
accumulate inside the exhaust pipes.
Water in the exhaust pipes may cause
noise, etc., but it is drained driving at
medium to high speed.
