Introduction
Checklist
Please follow these rules to help prevent damage to your vehicle when driving through water, for example if the road is flooded:
Pedals
Fig. 127 Pedals in vehicles with a manual gearbox: accelerator, brake pedal, clutch pedal.
Rapid acceleration can cause loss of traction and skidding, particularly on slippery roads. This can cause you to lose control of the vehicle,
which can lead to accidents and serious injuries.
The kickdown function or fast acceleration should only be used if the visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions permit.
WARNING
After driving through water, mud, slush etc., the brakes may react slowly and the braking distance will be increased as the brake discs and
pads will be wet, or possibly iced up in winter.
You can dry and de-ice the brakes by performing careful braking manoeuvres. Ensure that you do not endanger any other road users or
violate any legal regulations when doing so.
Avoid abrupt and sudden braking manoeuvres directly after driving through water.
WARNING
If you drive through water, parts of the vehicle, such as the engine, drive train, running gear and vehicle electrics, can sustain severe
damage.
Never drive through salt water as salt can cause corrosion. Rinse all components that have been exposed to salt water immediately with
fresh water.
