Important things to remember when going
through water
• If the engine stops while you are going through water, do
not try to restart. Get your vehicle towed.
• Be particularly careful not to allow water to enter into the
engine through the air cleaner.
• Never change speeds while going through water.
Checking your vehicle after going through water
• Check the front, rear, right and left sides, transmission,
axle hubs, propeller shaft, oil and fluid levels, and
underbody; if you discover problems, get your vehicle
checked immediately.
• Check all lamps and other electrical devices. If necessary,
replace damaged components and get your vehicle
checked.
• Check for damages to the vehicle body and underbody; if
you discover problems, get your vehicle checked
immediately.
• If the vehicle body is very dirty, wash your car to protect it.
Driving On Hill Roads
Position the gearshift lever in accordance with the road
conditions.
• On a steep downgrade, shift to the lowest gear to get the
biggest effect of the engine brake.
If water gets into the brake system, the effectiveness of the
brakes decreases. After going through water, move slowly and
gently applying the brakes several times so that frictional heat
dries the brake pads and disks. Check if the brakes work prop-
erly before continuing driving.
WARNING
If you suddenly use the engine brake on an icy or slippery road,
the vehicle might slide and get in an accident. Use the engine brakes
after fully reducing your vehicle speed.
WARNING
If you repeatedly apply your brakes on a long downgrade, they
may overheat, their effectiveness decreases and an accident might
occur. When on a long downgrade, use the engine brake together
with your brakes.
WARNING
If you suddenly apply the engine brake while traveling at a high
speed, the engine may get damaged. Slow down the vehicle speed
and then downshift the gear.
