WARNING
Driving through water, dirt and mud can
●
reduce braking capability and prolong the
braking distance – Risk of accident!
Do not carry out any sudden or strong
●
braking manoeuvres after driving through
water.
Clean and dry the brakes as soon as pos-
●
sible after driving through water by break-
ing intermittently. Carry out braking in or-
der to dry the brakes and clean the brake
discs only if traffic so permits. Do not put
other drivers at risk.
CAUTION
In the event of driving through water,
●
parts of the vehicle can be seriously dam-
aged, such as the engine, gearbox, catalyt-
ic converter, suspension or the electrical

Oncoming vehicles that drive through
●
water can cause waves that exceed your
vehicle's permitted level for driving through
water.
There may be pot-holes mud or rocks un-
●

After driving through water we recommend
that you contact a specialised service for
an inspection.
Preventing damage to the vehicle
In order to prevent damage to the vehicle,
take special care:
on roads that are in poor condition,
●
when mounting kerbs,
●
when approaching very steep ramps, etc.,
●
with the parts of the vehicle situated on the
●
lower part of the vehicle, i.e. the spoiler, the
exhaust pipe.
This applies especially to vehicles with a very
low suspension (sport) and when the vehicle
is fully loaded.
