Drive through the water slowly.
#
Driving through flowing water reduces
#
the permissible fording depth due to the
accumulation of water.
The specified value indicates the maximum per-
missible fording depth for vehicles in roadworthy
condition– fuel tank 90 % full, all fluids topped off,
with driver. It applies to driving slowly through
standing water.
Driving through flowing water reduces tyre trac-
tion. The permissible fording depth is then corre-
spondingly lower.
Observe the notes on off-road driving and fording
(

The specified values are maximum values for
roadworthy vehicles with – fuel tank 90 % full, all
fluids topped up, with driver. The values depend
on the vehicle tyres and vehicle weight.
