When Encountering a
Flooded Area
72RM04007
Avoid driving in a flooded area or a deep
puddle. If driving in a flooded area is
unavoidable, go slowly in the lowest gear.
In case that you have driven in a flooded
area, stop the vehicle in a safe place while
checking the brake effectiveness. Then,
ask a Maruti Suzuki authorised workshop
to check the following inspection items.
• Function of brake
• Function of electrical components
• Changes of oil level and quality for
engine, transmission and differential. In
case that the oil is turbid whitely, water
has been mixed in the oil and an oil
change is required.
• Lubricant condition of the bearings, sus-
pension joints, etc.
WARNING
(Continued)
• After driving through water, test the
brakes while driving at a slow
speed to see if they have main-
tained their normal effectiveness. If
the brakes are less effective than
normal, dry them by repeatedly
applying the brakes while driving
slowly until the brakes have
regained their normal effective-
ness.
EXAMPLE
NOTICE
• Avoid driving in a flooded area or a
deep puddle. It may cause an
engine stall, short in electrical com-
ponents, engine and transmission
damages, etc.
• If the vehicle get stuck in deep
water do not start the engine.
