Driving hints
DRIVING THROUGH WATER
Driving through water
Drive through water in an
emergency only, and not as part
of normal driving.
Engine damage can occur if
water enters the air filter.
In an emergency, the vehicle can be
driven through water to a maximum
depth of 200 mm and at a maximum
speed of 10 km/h. Extra caution should
be exercised when driving through
flowing water.
When driving in water, maintain a low
speed and do not stop the vehicle. After
driving through water, and as soon as it is
safe to do so:
•
Depress the brake pedal lightly
and check that full brake function is
achieved.
•
Check that the horn works.
•
Check that the vehicle's lights are
fully operational.
•
Check the power assistance of the
steering system.
