Starting and driving
•
Do not drive on flooded roads. If you unavoid-
ably drive on a flooded road and water gets into
the vehicle, immediately have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized MITSUBISHI FUSO
distributor or dealer. Water in the vehicle can
cause a number of problems:
•
If water gets into the engine, it can cause
engine damage.
•
If water gets into the high-current fuse box, it
can cause a short circuit, resulting in a fire.
•
If water gets into the wheel bearings, king-
pins, or tie-rod ends, it can cause rust,
resulting in problems such as bearing sei-
zure.
•
If water gets into the muffler, the catalyst and
ceramic filter could be damaged.
•
In fog, turn on the fog lamps <vehicles with fog
lamps> and drive carefully at low speeds, pay-
ing attention to the center line and the vehicle
ahead of you.
•
When driving in snow or on frozen roads, use
tire chains, snow tires or winter-use tires and
drive at a moderate speed. Avoid sudden brak-
ing and sharp turns.
