Driving In Flooded Areas; Highway Driving - Hyundai Yeni i20 2023 Owner's Manual

Driving your vehicle
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may have
little or no contact with the road surface
and actually ride on the water. The best
advice is SLOW DOWN when the road
is wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increases as
the depth of tire tread decreases, refer
to "Tire replacement" section in chap-
ter 9.

Driving in flooded areas

Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no higher
than the bottom of the wheel hub. Drive
through any water slowly. Allow ade-
quate stopping distance because brake
performance may be reduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them several
times while the vehicle is moving slowly.

Highway driving

Tires
Adjust the tire inflation, as specified.
Under-inflation may overheat or damage
the tires.
Do not install worn-out or damaged tires,
which may reduce traction or fail the
braking operation.
i
Information
Never over-inflate your tires above the
maximum inflation pressure, as specified
on your tires.
Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil
Driving at higher speeds on the highway
consumes more fuel and is less efficient
than driving at a slower, more moderate
speed. Maintain a moderate speed in
order to conserve fuel when driving on
the highway.
Be sure to check both the engine coolant
level and the engine oil before driving.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may over-
heat the engine.
