Notes on driving through water on the road
surface
Water which has entered into the vehicle can
damage the engine, electrics and transmission.
Water can also enter the air intake of the engine
and cause engine damage.
Observe the following if you must drive through
water:
R
The water, when calm, may only reach the
lower edge of the vehicle body.
R
Drive at walking pace at most, otherwise
water can enter the vehicle interior or engine
compartment.
R
Vehicles traveling in front, or oncoming vehi‐
cles, can create waves which may exceed the
maximum permissible depth of the water.
The braking effect of the brakes is reduced after
fording. Brake carefully while paying attention to
the traffic conditions until braking power has
been fully restored.
