screen should be brushed clear after a
heavy snowfall so that the operation of the
heating and ventilation systems will not be
impaired.
WeatherstrippingEL10A-Aa

Additional equipment
(For regions where snow is
encountered)
EL14A-Ac
It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a
short - handled spade in the vehicle during
the winter so that you can clear away snow
if you get stranded. A small hand - brush for
sweeping snow off the vehicle and a plastic
scraper for the windscreen, side and rear
window are also useful.
