Important things to remember when going through
water
• If the engine stops while you are going through water, do
not try to restart. Get your vehicle towed.
• Be particularly careful not to allow water to enter into the en-
gine through the air cleaner.
• Never change speeds while going through water.
WARNING
If water gets into the brake system, the effectiveness of the brakes
decreases. After going through water, move slowly and gently ap-
plying the brakes several times so that frictional heat dries the brake
pads and disks. Check if the brakes work properly before continu-
ing driving.
Checking your vehicle after going through water
• Check the front, rear, right and left sides, transmission,
axle hubs, propeller shaft, oil and fluid levels, and
underbody; if you discover problems, get your vehicle
checked immediately.
• Check all lamps and other electrical devices. If necessary,
replace damaged components and get your vehicle
checked.
• Check for damages to the vehicle body and underbody; if
you discover problems, get your vehicle checked
immediately.
• If the vehicle body is very dirty, wash your car to protect it.

Driving On Hill Roads
Position the gearshift lever in accordance with the road
conditions.
WARNING
If you suddenly use the engine brake on an icy or slippery road, the
vehicle might slide and get in an accident. Use the engine brakes after
fully reducing your vehicle speed.
• On a steep downgrade, shift to the lowest gear to get the
biggest effect of the engine brake.
WARNING
If you repeatedly apply your brakes on a long downgrade, they may
overheat, their effectiveness decreases and an accident might occur.
When on a long downgrade, use the engine brake together with your
brakes.
CAUTION
If you suddenly apply the engine brake while traveling at a high speed,
the engine may get damaged. Slow down the vehicle speed and then
downshift the gear.
