If you drive on wet roads or dirt-covered
surfaces, road salt and/or dirt could get into
the parking brake.

in the braking power of the parking brake,
observe the following:
R

to time before beginning the journey.
R
Drive a distance of approximately 110 yds
(100 m) with a maximum speed of 12 mph
(20 km/h).
While performing this procedure please
assure that the vehicle is stopped before
applying the parking brake. Otherwise the
rear wheels could lock up. You could lose
control of the vehicle and cause an accident.
In addition, the vehicle's brake lights do not
light up when the parking brake is engaged.
Make sure not to endanger any other road
users when you engage the parking brake.
Hydroplaning
If water has accumulated to a certain depth
on the road surface, there is a danger of
hydroplaning occurring, even if:
R
you drive at low speeds.
R
the tires have adequate tread depth.
For this reason, in the event of heavy rain or
in conditions in which hydroplaning can occur
you must drive in the following manner:
R
reduce your speed
R
avoid ruts
R
brake carefully
Driving on flooded roads
!
Do not drive through flooded areas.
Check the depth of any water before driving
through it. Drive slowly through standing
water. Otherwise, water may enter the
vehicle interior or the engine compartment.
This can damage the electronic
components in the engine or the automatic
transmission. Water can also be drawn in
by the engine's air suction nozzles and this
can cause engine damage.
Do not allow water to enter the passenger
compartment or the engine compartment. If
you have to drive through a stretch of
standing water, please be aware the
following:
R
the depth of the water must not exceed
10 inches (25 cm) for calm water
R
you should drive no faster than at walking
pace.
i
For vehicles with AIRMATIC package:
if you have set the raised level before
driving through a stretch of standing water,
the maximum water depth is 12 inches
(30 cm).
Winter driving
If the vehicle becomes trapped in snow,
ensure that snow is kept away from the
exhaust pipe and from around the vehicle as
long as the engine is running. Otherwise,
poisonous carbon monoxide (CO) may enter
