Driving Hints
REDUCED ENGINE
PERFORMANCE
Your vehicle can be driven briefly if the
engine overheats, without damage to the
engine. The engine will continue to
operate with limited power. The distance
you can travel depends on ambient
temperature, vehicle load, and terrain.
If the needle moves to the upper limit
position, the engine is overheating. See
Gauges (page 73).
If the temperature continues to rise, the
fuel supply to the engine will be reduced.
The air conditioning (if fitted) will also be
turned off and the engine cooling fan will
operate.
CAUTION
Continued operation will increase the
engine temperature, and cause the
engine to shut down completely.
Stop your vehicle as soon as possible.
l
Immediately turn off the engine to
l
prevent severe engine damage.
Wait for the engine to cool down.
l
Check the coolant level. See Engine
l
Coolant Check (page 178).
Have the vehicle checked by an expert
l
immediately.

WARNING
Never cross fast-flowing deep streams,
as your vehicle could be swept away.
CAUTION
Drive through water in an
l

Engine damage can occur if water
l
enters the air filter.
Always try to determine the depth of
l
a crossing before driving the vehicle
through.
In an emergency, the vehicle can be
driven through water to a maximum depth
as shown and at a maximum speed of 7
km/h (4 mph). Extra caution should be
exercised when driving through flowing
