Driving
If a strong side wind drifts your vehicle while driving, hold the steering wheel tight.
Slowly decelerate your vehicle and keep your vehicle in the middle of the road. Be
careful with wind gusts especially when your vehicle is exiting a tunnel, driving on a
bridge or river bank, and driving through an open area like a quarry, and when a
large lorry is passing by.
The road is slippery when raining. Avoid hard braking, rapid acceleration, and
abrupt steering and be more cautions 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.
