IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- 1–16 -
Driving on a wet or icy road surface
such as due to rain, freeze and snow
• Avoid sudden steering and sudden
braking, and slow down the vehicle by
using exhaust brake (if equipped) and
engine brake in combination.
(However, sudden use of exhaust
brake (if equipped) or engine brake
may cause the vehicle to skid.) Drive
moderately especially in areas where
puddles are likely to form, as
hydroplaning may occur.
• If you must drive through a water-
covered road, be sure to check the
depth and drive at a constant slow
speed. Otherwise, water may get
inside the engine cylinder and the
engine may get damaged (water
hammer). Drive carefully at a moderate
speed.
NOTE
Hydroplaning
When a vehicle runs on a wet road at a
high speed, a film of water forms
between the tires and the road surface.
The tires will float on water and lose
their grips, resulting in loss of steering
and braking.
Be careful with crosswinds
When crosswinds blow and the vehicle
sways, hold the steering wheel firmly, and
slow down to a moderate speed to get
the vehicle back to stable condition. Be
careful that strong crosswinds may blow
in the following situations.
• When passing through an exit of
tunnel, bridge, embankment or
dugway.
• When a large truck passes by your
vehicle.
• When your vehicle passes by a large
truck.
When high impact on the underbody
occurs
Immediately park the vehicle in a safe
place so that it does not obstruct traffic,
and check for brake fluid, fuel leakage or
damage to each part. If any damage or
fault is found, have your vehicle inspected
or repaired at Isuzu dealer as soon as
possible.
