9-1. What to do if a problem occurs while driving
3
Stop the vehicle in a safe place by
the road.
WARNING
To restart the EV system after perform-
ing an emergency shutdown, press the
power switch.
If the vehicle is submerged or
water on the road is rising
This vehicle is not designed to be
able to drive on roads that are
deeply flooded with water. Do not
drive on roads where the roads may
be submerged or the water may be
rising. It is dangerous to remain in
the vehicle, if it anticipated that the
vehicle will be flooded or set a drift.
Remain calm and follow the following.
If the door can be opened, open the
door and exit the vehicle.
If the door cannot be opened, open
the window using the power window
switch and ensure an escape route.
If the window can be opened, exit
the vehicle through the window.
If the door and window cannot be
opened due to the rising water,
remain calm, wait until the water
level inside the vehicle rises to the
point that the water pressure inside
of the vehicle equals the water pres-
sure outside of the vehicle and then
open the door after waiting for the
rising water to enter the vehicle, and
exit the vehicle.
When the outside water level exceeds half
the height of the door, the door cannot be
opened from the inside due to water pres-
sure.
Water level exceeds the floor
■
When the water level exceeds the floor and
time has passed, the electrical equipment
will get damaged, the power windows will
not operate, the motor stop, and the vehicle
may not be able to get moving.
