Driving on wet roads
Driving through flooded areas
Flooded areas should be avoided in
any situation. A water covered road
prevents the driver from evaluating its
conditions properly. The damage
caused due to water entry in the
engine and other vehicle parts is not
covered by warranty.
Drive at low speed through any
flooded area and make sure the water
limit does not exceed the height of the
centre of the wheel.
In case driving through any flooded
area is required, do it at low speeds,
around 10 km/h in first gear.
Observe any large vehicles driving
nearby, stay away from large water
waves which increase the chances of
damage. When passing through
flooded areas, the most severe
problem that can occur is the
feasibility of water entering inside the
engine, through the intake air system.
This is known as “hydraulic ram”. The
water does not allow for the pistons
displacement and consequently the
engine components are damaged. In
this case, the engine is severely
damaged and the vehicle will stop
immediately or some time later,
depending on the damage level.
Do not try to operate the engine
again. This could increase the
damage on the vehicle.
Caution
Driving through water streams
could be dangerous. The water
could drag the vehicle causing
drowning. Even a few centimeter
stream may impair the tyre to
ground contact, causing loss of
traction and vehicle roll over. Do
not drive in water streams.
Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can mean driving
trouble. On a wet road you cannot
stop, accelerate or turn as well
because the tyre to road grip is not as
good as it would be on dry roads, and,
