Driving your vehicle
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them several
times while the vehicle is moving slowly.
If the brake system is wet and has
reduced braking effect or makes fre -
quent sounds when braking, adjust the
setting for the regenerative braking to
'0' speed with the paddle shifter and
gently apply the brake pedal several
times. Maintain a safe distance from
other vehicles whento drying the brake
system.
Setting the regenerative braking to '0'
may reduce efficiency. This is normal
and the regenerative braking ystem will
return to normally operation afterwards.
Driving off-road
Drive carefully off-road because your
vehicle may be damaged by rocks or
roots of trees. Become familiar with the
off-road conditions where you are plan -
ning to drive.
Highway driving
Tires
Adjust the tire inflation pressure to its
specifications. Low tire inflation pres -
sures will result in overheating and pos -
sible failure of the tires.
Avoid using worn or damaged tires
which may result in reduced traction or
tire failure.
Never exceed the maximum tire inflation
pressure shown on the tires.
WARNING
Under/Overinflated Tires
Always check the tires for proper infla -
tion before driving. Underinflated or
overinflated tires can cause poor han -
dling, loss of vehicle control, and sudden
tire failure leading to serious, injuryi or,
death. For proper tire pressures, refer to
"Tires and wheels" on page 10-7.
WARNING
Tire Tread
Always check the tire tread before driv -
ing your vehicle. Work tires can result in
loss of vehicle control. Worn-out tires
should be replaced as soon as possible.
For further information and tread limits,
refer to "Tires and wheels" on page 9-19.
