uuWhen DrivinguPrecautions While Driving
The road is slippery when raining. Avoid hard braking, rapid acceleration, and
abrupt steering and be more cautious when driving. It is likely to experience
hydroplaning phenomenon if you are driving on a rutted road with puddles. Do not
drive in deep water and on flooded roads. This can damage the engine or driveline,
or cause electrical component failure.
If there is a strong impact with something under the vehicle, stop in a safe location.
Check the underside of the vehicle for damage or any fluid leaks.

1Precautions While Driving
During the first 1,000 km (625 miles) of operation,
avoid sudden acceleration or full throttle operation so
as not to damage the engine or powertrain.
Avoid hard braking for the first 300 km (200 miles)
after purchasing your new vehicle or replacing the
brake pads or rotors, to allow for proper break-in.
1Driving Guidelines for Your Utility Vehicle
Failure to operate your vehicle correctly might result

1In Rain
Be careful when hydroplaning phenomenon occurs.
When you drive on a road covered with water at
excessive speed, a layer of water builds between the
tyres and the road surface. If this occurs, the vehicle
cannot respond to control inputs such as steering,
and braking.
Slowly decelerate when you increase the deceleration
rate with the deceleration paddle selector. If the road
is slippery, sudden regenerative braking can cause
the tyres to skid.
