Driving your vehicle Special driving conditions
僅 Driving too fast through large puddles
can affect your brakes. If you must go
through puddles, try to drive through
them slowly.
僅 If you believe you may have gotten
your brakes wet, apply them lightly
whilst driving until normal braking
operation returns.
Driving in flooded areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no
higher than the bottom of the wheel
hub. Drive through any water slowly.
Allow adequate stopping distance
because brake performance may be
affected.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them several
times whilst the vehicle is moving slowly.
Driving on unpaved roads
Drive carefully on unpaved roads
because your vehicle may be damaged
by rocks or roots of trees. Become famil -
iar with the on unpaved roads conditions
where you are going to drive before you
begin driving.
Highway driving
Tyres
Adjust the tyre inflation pressures to
specification. Low tyre inflation pres
-
sures will result in overheating and pos -
sible failure of the tyres.
Avoid using worn or damaged tyres
which may result in reduced traction or
tyre failure.
Never exceed the maximum tyre infla
-
tion pressure shown on the tyres.
WARNING
Under/over inflated tyres
Always check the tyres for proper infla -
tion before driving. Underinflated or
overinflated tyres can cause poor han
-
dling, loss of vehicle control, and sudden
tyre failure leading to accidents, injuries,
and even death. For proper tyre pres
-
sures, refer to "Tyres and wheels" on
page 9-8.
WARNING
Tyre tread
Always check the tyre tread before driv -
ing your vehicle. Worn-out tyres can
result in loss of vehicle control. Worn-out
tyres should be replaced as soon as pos
-
sible. For further information and tread
limits, refer to "Tyres and wheels" on
page 8-35.
Fuel, engine coolant and engine
oil
High speed travel consumes more fuel
than urban motoring. Do not forget to
check both engine coolant and engine
oil.
Drive belt
A loose or damaged drive belt may
result in overheating of the engine.
