clear roads in shaded areas.
The surface of a curve or an

maneuvers and braking while
on ice.

Turn off cruise control.

Warning

Snow can trap engine exhaust
under the vehicle. This may
cause exhaust gases to get
inside. Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide (CO), which
cannot be seen or smelled. It can
cause unconsciousness and even
death.

If the vehicle is stuck in snow:

.

Clear snow from the base of
the vehicle, especially any
blocking the exhaust pipe.

.

Open a window about 5 cm
(2 in) on the vehicle side
that is away from the wind,
to bring in fresh air.

.

Fully open the air outlets on
or under the instrument
panel.

.

Adjust the climate control
system to circulate the air

.

To save fuel, run the engine for
short periods to warm the vehicle
and then shut the engine off and
partially close the window. Moving
about to keep warm also helps.

If it takes time for help to arrive,
when running the engine, push the
accelerator pedal slightly so the
engine runs faster than the idle
speed. This keeps the battery
charged to restart the vehicle and to
signal for help with the headlamps.
Do this as little as possible, to
save fuel.
