CAUTION
Pay attention to the ground clearance of the vehicle! When driving over ob-
■
jects which are larger than the ground clearance, the vehicle can get damaged.
Any objects that get trapped under the vehicle floor must be removed as
■
soon as possible. These items can cause damage to the vehicle (e.g. to parts of
the fuel or brake system).
Driving through water
The following instructions must be observed if vehicle damage is to be avoided
when driving through water (e.g. flooded roads).

Therefore, always determine the depth of the water before driving through
water. The water level must not go above the web of the lower beam
» Fig.

Drive at no more than walking pace, otherwise a wave may form in front of
the vehicle, which could cause the water to enter into the vehicle's systems
(e.g. the air intake system for the engine).
›
Never stop in the water, do not reverse and do not switch the engine off.
CAUTION
If water gets into the vehicle's systems (e.g. the air intake system for the en-
■
gine) it can cause serious damage to the vehicle!
Oncoming vehicles can generate water waves which can exceed the permis-
■
sible water level for your vehicle.
Do not drive through salt water, as the salt can cause corrosion. A vehicle
■
coming into contact with salt water is to be thoroughly rinsed with fresh wa-
ter.
