STARTING & DRIVING
Driving Through Water :
•
Never venture to drive through water when it flows above
the stone guard or above the tyre centre line.
•
The engine may get seriously damaged if attempts are made
to cross through deep water.
•
If at all the situation demands that you have to drive through
water even at great risk then,
•
Keep the engine in fast idling and 'crawl' in low gear.
•
After driving through water apply the brakes several times
to dry the liners and to regain original braking.
•
Check the engine and transaxle for any water ingress.
Do not attempt to start the engine if the car gets flooded
due to water.
•
Tow the car to a safe place.
•
Take the car to the nearest Authorised Service outlet to
check for entry of water in the engine.
•
Lubricants in the engine and transaxle need to be changed
in case of water entry.
