and check brake linings. If this is not
performed, it may cause irregular

structure, steering, suspension,
wheels, tires and the exhaust
system.

water limit does not exceed the
wheel center of height.
Avoid driving near large vehicles.
They may create waves that can
cause damage.

If this happens and the vehicle
stops, do not try to operate the
engine again because this will
increase the engine damages.

Water may have a chance to get
