Special winter equipment

It is recommended that the following items be carried in the vehicle during winter:
- A scraper and stiff-bristled brush to remove ice and snow from the windows and wiper blades.

- A sturdy, flat board to be placed under the jack to give it firm support.

- A shovel to dig the vehicle out of snowdrifts.

- Extra window washer fluid to refill the reservoir tank.
