Special Driving Conditions
Warning
- Never turn the engine off to
coast down hills or anytime the
vehicle is in motion. The power
steering and power brakes will
not function without the engine
running. Instead, downshift to
any appropriate gear for engine
braking effect.
Special Driving Conditions
When hazardous driving is
encountered because of water,
snow, ice, mud, sand, or similar
hazard, follow these suggestions:
- Drive cautiously and keep a safe
distance from the front vehicle to
increase the braking distance.
- Do not brake or turn suddenly.
- When driving in snow, mud, and
sand, shift into the second gear
and press down the accelerator
pedal gently. This prevents front
wheels spinning.
- If it is necessary, you can use the
first and the reverse gear.
- If the vehicle gets stuck in snow,
ice, or mud. You can use sand,
salt, tire chain, or anything that
can increase the friction such as a
blanket under the front wheels.
Warning
Using the reverse gear on the
slippery roads is dangerous.This
will cause sudden speed change
of the wheels and their slide.
How to free your vehicle when
sticking in snow and mud
When the vehicle gets stuck
in snow and mud, to free it
repeatedly shift into the first and
the reverse gears and press down
the accelerator gently.
Do not press the accelerator pedal
strongly. If you are not able to free
your vehicle from snow or mud,
you can use a towing vehicle to
get out.
Otherwise, the engine and gear
box will damage due to the higher
engine temperature.
Environment and vehicle
If you want to stop more than three
minutes, stop the engine because
in this case the fuel consumption
is equal to one kilometer distance
travelling.
Push the accelerator pedal up to
mid to reach the desired velocity
because full acceleration increas-
es the fuel consumption immedi-
ately.
Using nonstandard parts such
as exhaust manifold, which is a
obstacle for the exhaust gases,
makes malfunction in ignition and
increases the fuel consumption
rate.
