In case of frost, before each first, during the trip, turning on the wipers, it is necessary to check whether the brushes have frozen to the glass. If the wiper blades are frozen to the windshield, use the functions of the ventilation and heating control unit (see section «Control of the ventilation and heating system») until the wiper blades are completely thawed.
When driving in snowy conditions, if the windshield wiper is unable to remove snow from the windshield and an ice crust begins to form on it, use the functions of the ventilation and heating control unit (see section «Control of the ventilation and heating systemA»). Once the windshield is warm enough and the ice crust has thawed, use the windshield wipers to remove it.
Snow sticking to the windshield wiper arms makes it difficult for them to operate normally. Stop in accordance with the rules of the road, turn off the windshield wipers and remove the snow.
Warning! Be very careful on wet or slippery road surfaces - do not allow sudden braking and sudden depressing and releasing the accelerator pedal. To this end, drive the car smoothly, without sudden movements of the steering wheel. Slow down only by gradually shifting to lower gears in the gearbox with partial braking by the service brakes. If in spite of everything the car begins to skid, turn the steering wheel in the direction of skidding and level the car with smooth operation of the steering wheel and gas pedal.
In places where roads cross, ice often occurs due to wheel slip when starting off. Therefore, when approaching such places in advance, in a dry area, start slowing down.
