VEHICLE CARE
15-13
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 inside your engine
through air cleaner.
• Never change speeds while going through water.
If water gets into the brake system, the effectiveness of the brakes
decreases. After going through water, move slowly and gently ap-
ply brakes several times so that frictional heat dries brake pads and
disks. Check if the brakes work properly before continuing driving.
WARNING
Checking your vehicle after going through water
• Check 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.
If you suddenly use engine brake on an icy or slippery road, the
vehicle might slide and get in an accident. Use engine brakes after
fully accelerating your vehicle.
WARNING
• On a steep downgrade, shift to the lowest gear to get the
biggest engine brake effect.
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.
