Driving
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
driving in deep water and on flooded roads. This can damage the motor 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.

Other Precautions
1 Precautions While Driving
During the first 1,000 km 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.
You should also follow this when the brake pads are
replaced.
1 In 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 shift down. If the road is
slippery, sudden engine braking can cause the tyres
to skid.
