Driving through water

Read and observe on page 133 first.
The following must be observed to avoid damage to the vehicle when driving
through bodies of water (e.g. flooded roads).
›
Therefore determine the depth of the water before driving through bodies of
water.
The water level must not reach above the web of the lower beam
›
Do not drive any faster than at a walking speed.
At a higher speed, a water wave can form in front of the vehicle which can
cause water to penetrate into the air induction system of the engine or into
other parts of the vehicle.
›
Never stop in the water, do not reverse and do not switch the engine off.
CAUTION
Should water penetrate into the intake system of the engine, there is a
■
threat of serious damage being incurred by the engine parts!
When driving through water, some vehicle parts such as chassis, electrics or
■
transmission can be severely damaged.
Oncoming vehicles can generate water waves which can exceed the permis-
■
sible water level for your vehicle.
Potholes, mud or rocks can be hidden under the water, making it difficult or
■
impossible to drive through the body of water.
Do not drive through salt water, as the salt can cause corrosion. An vehicle
■
coming into contact with salt water is to be thoroughly rinsed with fresh wa-
ter.
