VEHICLE CARE
15-16
Driving on a Snowy or Icy Road
• Shift to the lowest possible gear and drive slowly.
• Since your braking distance is longer than usual, allow a
longer following distance.
• If you accelerate or brake too fast, your vehicle will slide
and you might get in an accident, so drive with caution.
When braking, use the engine brake; apply your brakes
only after you have slowed down considerably.
• When going down a slippery downhill, use the engine
brake and drive slowly.
Driving on a Sandy or Muddy Road
• Keep your speed steady as low as possible.
• While driving, be careful not to accelerate or stop too
quickly because you might get stuck in sand or mud.
• If your vehicle gets stuck in sand or mud, insert a rock or a
piece of wood under the stuck wheel, lightly apply the accel-
erator pedal and gently shift back and forth between the re-
verse and forward gear to allow inertia to get your vehicle out.
Driving on Unpaved and Mountain Roads
• Before driving, check road conditions such as if the road
suddenly ends, or if there is enough space for a U-turn
in the middle of the road.
• It’s easy to slide in a road covered with much sand or
with much dry dirt. Keep your speed low and steady.
• There is a danger of collapse on the outside of a mountain
road.
• When coasting downhill, do not change gears; go down
slowly by applying the engine brake.
Going Through Water
• If water gets into the electric system or engine, it might
cause irreparable damage to your vehicle. Please refrain
from underwater driving.
• If going through water is unavoidable, choose a shallow
spot where the exhaust outlet wouldn’t get submerged in
water and proceed slowly at a steady speed.
• Before going through water, get out of your vehicle and
check the bottom of the river. Do not go through water if
the bottom is sandy or covered with big rocks.
• If several vehicles are going through water together, the
first vehicle might burrow into the bottom, so be careful
and cross in a different place if possible.
When traveling on a snowy or icy road, use snow tires for safer
driving.
CAUTION
• If your vehicle is stuck in snow, sand or mud and you cannot
get out, do not repeatedly depress the accelerator pedal. If
possible, with the aid of other vehicle, rescue your vehicle.
