Driving In Flooded Areas; Highway Driving - Hyundai i10 Owner's Manual

Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface and actually ride on the water.
The best advice is SLOW DOWN when
the road is wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increases
as the depth of tyre tread decreases,
refer to "Tyre replacement" in chap-
ter 9.

Driving in flooded areas

Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no
higher than the bottom of the wheel
hub. Drive through any water slowly.
Allow adequate
because brake performance may be
reduced.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them sever-
al times whilst the vehicle is moving
slowly.

Tyres
Adjust the tyre inflation, as specified.
Under-inflation may overheat or dam-
age the tyres.
Do not install worn-out or damaged
tyres, which may reduce traction or fail
the braking operation.
i
Information
Never over-inflate your tyres above the
maximum inflation pressure, as speci-
fied on your tyres.
Fuel, engine coolant and
engine oil
Driving at higher speeds on the high-
way consumes more fuel and is less
efficient than driving at a slower, more
moderate speed. Maintain a moderate
speed in order to conserve fuel when
driving on the highway.
Be sure to check both the engine cool-
ant level and the engine oil before driv-
ing.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may
overheat the engine.
