Mud splashes will deposit in various components under chassis
and under bonnet depending on the nature of track you are
driving. While your THAR is a capable off roader, it would need
drivers attention & care under certain driving conditions. While
driving into sludge (mud + water) tracks with your 4x4, be
aware that the slush will splash and settle on various
components. The following precautions need to be taken;
• It is recommended to avoid usage of AC as it may result in
fan vibrations. Removal of mud deposits through deep
cleaning Immediately after off roading will resume the
operation back to normal
• Do not over-speed
• Do not let the muddy slush dry up specially on radiator
/condenser /fan motor etc which will cause suboptimal
performance /Engine overheating due to restricted air flow
• Take the vehicle to a wash immediately after off roading and
get it cleaned under the chassis /under bonnet components
before mud dries on it. This will protect your vehicle from
unforeseen breakdowns
