106 Driving and Operating
Caution
When driving off-road, sudden motion and
m
anoeuvres can make you lose control of
the steering. This could cause acollision.
Therefore, when driving on-road and off-
road, you and your passengers should wear
seat belts.
Driving through Fog
H
igh-level humidity in the air and heavy frost
increase the possibility of fog, which may
impair the visibility.
When driving through fog, the driver should
slow down and maintain asafe distance from
the vehicle in front. Do not underestimate
the change of the fog density, thus avoiding
the risk of an accident. Fog density is better
estimated by observing the hazy view of the
vehicles front lights.
Tips to Drive through Fog
•
If equipped, turn on the front fog lights or
low beam headlights, even during daylight.
•
Do not turn on the high beam headlights.
•
U
se the rear window heater. Activate the
windscreen wiper and washer for afew
moments. The humidity on the outside of
the windows might seem like fog.
•
If it is almost impossible to see the outside
and you need to stop, but you are not sure if
you are on the road, turn on the headlights,
activate the hazard warning flashers and
sound the horn periodically or when you
notice an approaching vehicle.
•
While driving through fog, do not pass
vehicles unless you have good front
visibility and it is safe to do so. If attempting
to pass, be prepared to drop back in case of
an approaching vehicle.
Driving Over Mud or Sand
When driving over mud or sand, maintain
vehicle motion by using alow gear.
Due to the loss of traction, it becomes more
difficult to steer, accelerate and brake. For
better traction while driving through very
loose sand, slightly relieve the tyre air pressure.
Note
A
fter driving in mud or sand, clean and check
brake linings. If this is not performed, it may
cause irregular braking or glassy lining. Check
body structure, steering, suspension, wheels,
tyres and the exhaust system.
Driving on Wet Roads
Driving through Flooded Areas
Flooded areas should be avoided in any
s
ituation. Awater covered road prevents the
driver from evaluating its conditions properly.
The damage caused due to water entry in the
engine and other vehicle parts is not covered
by warranty.
