Road salts and chemicals can adversely af-
fect braking efficiency. Increased pedal 
force may become necessary to produce 
the normal brake effect.

Depressing the brake pedal periodically 
when traveling at length on salt-strewn 
roads can bring road-salt-impaired braking 
efficiency back to normal.

If the vehicle is parked after being driven 
on salt-treated roads, the braking efficien-
cy should be tested as soon as possible af-
ter driving is resumed.

For more information, see “Winter driving”

G

Make sure not to endanger any other road 

users when carrying out these braking ma-

neuvers.

G

If the vehicle becomes stuck in snow, make 

sure that snow is kept clear of the exhaust 

pipe and from around the vehicle with the 

engine running. Otherwise, deadly carbon 

monoxide (CO) gases may enter vehicle in-

terior resulting in unconsciousness and 

death.

To assure sufficient fresh air ventilation, 

open a window slightly on the side of the ve-

hicle not facing the wind.

G

The outside temperature indicator is not de-

signed to serve as an Ice-Warning Device 

and is therefore unsuitable for that purpose. 

Indicated temperatures just above the freez-

ing point do not guarantee that the road sur-

face is free of ice.
