Ventilation slotsEL06A-A
The ventilation slots in front of the wind-

heavy snowfall so that the operation of the
heating and ventilation systems will not be
impaired.
WeatherstrippingEL10A-Aa
To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping
on the doors, bonnet, etc., they should be
treated with silicone grease.
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.
