Driving your vehicle Special driving conditions
show signs of streaking or missing
areas on the windscreen.
僅 If your tyres are not in good condition,
making a quick stop on wet pavement
can cause a skid and possibly lead to
an accident. Be sure your tyres are in
good shape.
僅 Turn on your headlights to make it
easier for others to see you.
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 off-road
Drive carefully off-road because your
vehicle may be damaged by rocks of
roots of trees. Become familiar with the
off-road conditions where you are going
to drive before you begin driving.

Avoid using worn or damaged tyres
which may result in reduced traction or
tyre failure.
NOTICE
Never exceed the maximum tyre infla

leading to accidents, injuries, and
even death. Always check tyres for
proper inflation before driving. For
proper tyre pressures, refer to "Tyres
and wheels" on page 9-5.
