Driving your vehicle
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 sev-
eral times whilst the vehicle is mov-
ing 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.
Highway driving
Tyres
Adjust the tyre inflation pressures to
specification. Low tyre inflation pres-
sures will result in overheating and
possible failure of the tyres.
Avoid using worn or damaged tyres
which may result in reduced traction
or tyre failure.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
Never exceed the maximum tyre
inflation pressure shown on the
tyres.
WARNING
• Underinflated or overinflated
tyres can cause poor han-
dling, loss of vehicle control,
and sudden tyre failure lead-
ing to accidents, injuries, and
even death. Always check
tyres for proper inflation
before driving. For proper tyre
pressures, refer to “Tyres and
wheels” in section 9.
• Driving on tyres with no or
insufficient tread is danger-
ous. Worn-out tyres can result
in loss of vehicle control, col-
lisions, injury, and even death.
Worn-out tyres should be
replaced as soon as possible
and should never be used for
driving. Always check the tyre
tread before driving your car.
For further information and
tread limits, refer to “Tyres
and wheels” in section 8.
