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
greater 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 engine brake; apply your brakes only
after you have slowed down considerably.
• When going downhill on a slippery road, use engine brake
and drive slowly.
When traveling on snowy or icy road, use snow tires for safer driving.
CAUTION
Driving On Sandy or Muddy Road
• Keep your speed steady and 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 ac-
celerator pedal and gently shift back and force between re-
verse and forward gear to allow inertia get your vehicle out.
• If your vehicle is stuck in sand or mud and you cannot get out, do
not repeatedly step on the accelerator pedal. If possible, get an-
other vehicle to tow you.
CAUTION
Driving On Unpaved and Mountain Roads
• Before driving, check road conditions such as if the road
suddenly ends and 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 driving off the mountain road, so stay
alert.
• When coasting downhill, do not change gears; go down
slowly applying 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 you vehicle and check
the bottom of the river. Do not go through water if the bot-
tom 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.
