IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Safe Driving
Safety consciousness not only ensures
your safety and the safety of other road
users, but also helps to reduce the wear
and tear on your vehicle.
Safe driving depends on,
• How quickly you make decisions to
avoid an accident.
• Your ability to concentrate.
• How well you can see and judge ob-
jects.
• How well familiar you are with your ve-
hicle controls and its capabilities.
NOTE
Fatigue is a result of physical or mental
exertion that impairs judgment. Driver
fatigue may be due to inadequate
sleep, extended work hours, strenuous
work or non-work activities or combina-
tion of other factors. Take rest at regular
intervals.
Safety Tips
• Always take into account the road con-
ditions, weather conditions, vehicle
speed in order to prevent accidents.
• Set the side indicator switch to ON at
least 30 meters before taking a turn or
changing the lane.
• Decrease the speed before taking turn.
Do not apply brakes during cornering.
• When overtaking the vehicles, make
sure that the road ahead is clear.
• Never drive under the influence of al-
cohol or drugs.
• If your vehicle is equipped with info-
tainment/navigation system, set and
make changes to your travel route only
when the vehicle is parked.
• Program radio presets with the vehicle
parked, and use your programmed
presets to make radio use quicker and
simpler.
Driving in Adverse Condition
Driving Through Water
Do not drive through flooded areas. Judge
the depth of water before driving through
it. Otherwise, water may enter the vehicle
interior or the motor compartment.
Observe water level and speed. Do not ex-
ceed the maximum water level and maxi-
mum speed; otherwise, the vehicle's
motor, the electrical systems and the
transmission may be damaged. Drive
though calm water only and only if it is not
deeper than 300mm and at this depth,
maintain vehicle speed up to 15kmph.
Flowing or rushing water creates strong
forces. Driving through flowing water could
affect the dynamics of the vehicle. If at all
the situation demands that you have to
drive through water then:
Lightly apply the brake pedal to dry the lin-
ers until the brakes work normally once
you are out of water.
