Driving your vehicle
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 adequate stopping dis-
tance because brake performance
may be affected.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them
several times whilst the vehicle is
moving slowly.
Driving on unpaved roads
Drive carefully on unpaved roads
because your vehicle may be dam-
aged by rocks or roots of trees.
Become familiar with the on
unpaved roads conditions where you
are going to drive before you begin
driving.
Highway driving
Tyres
Adjust the tyre inflation pressures
to specification. Low tyre inflation
pressures will result in overheating
and possible failure of the tyres.
Avoid using worn or damaged tyres
which may result in reduced traction
or tyre failure.
Never exceed the maximum tyre
inflation pressure shown on the
tyres.
WARNING
Under/over inflated tyres
Always check the tyres for proper
inflation before driving. Underin-
flated or overinflated tyres can
cause poor handling, loss of vehicle
control, and sudden tyre failure
leading to accidents, injuries, and
even death. For proper tyre pres-
sures, refer to "Tyres and wheels"
on page 9-5.
WARNING
Tyre tread
Always check the tyre tread before
driving your vehicle. Worn-out tyres
can result in loss of vehicle control.
Worn-out tyres should be replaced
as soon as possible. For further
information and tread limits, refer
to "Tyres and wheels" on page 8-35.
Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil
High speed travel consumes more
fuel than urban motoring. Do not
forget to check both engine coolant
and engine oil.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may
result in overheating of the engine.
