Driving and Operating
.
Be aware of uncommon noises
from the tyres and the engine.
.
Always drive at a speed at which
you are able to maintain control
of the vehicle.
Caution
When driving off-road, sudden
motion and manoeuvres can
make you lose control of the
steering. This could cause a
collision. Therefore, when driving
on-road and off-road, you and
your passengers should wear
seat belts.
After driving off-road:
.
Remove any debris from under
the vehicle or bonnet. It may
become a fire hazard.
.
After driving through mud or
sand, clean and check the brake
linings.
.
Check the body, steering,
suspension, wheels, tyres,
exhaust system, fuel lines and
cooling system.
Note
Regular off-road driving requires
more frequent maintenance.
Water Crossing
Before crossing water:
.
Switch off the air-conditioning.
.
Do not attempt to drive through
water more than 300 mm deep.
.
Never drive into fast-running
water. The force of the water can
easily move the vehicle
sideways, possibly into deeper
water.
.
Drive through water slowly and
evenly at a speed of 10 km/h.
Driving too fast may cause water
to enter the engine and cause
major damage.
Immediately after driving through
water, drive slowly and check the
brake pedal force. If the brakes are
wet, press firmly several times to
dry them out quickly.
