wheel or wheel components.

If the hood opens while driving, your front view will be blocked.

NOTICE
When doors are frozen shut, use warm water
around the door edges to melt any ice. Do not try
to force them open, as this can damage the rubber
trim around the doors. When done, wipe dry to
avoid further freezing.
Do not pour warm water into the key cylinder.
You will be unable to insert key if the water freezes
in the hole.
