NOTE
l
Using nay part other than the designated
towing hooks (A) could result in damage to
the vehicle body.
Towing another vehicle
Your vehicle cannot be used to tow another
vehicle.
Operation under adverse
driving conditions
On a flooded road
l Avoid flooded roads. Water could enter
the brake discs, resulting in temporarily
ineffective brakes. In such cases, lightly
depress the brake pedal to see if the
brakes operate properly. If they do not,
lightly depress the pedal several times
while driving in order to dry the brake
pads.
l When driving in rain or on a road with
many puddles a layer of water may form
between the tyres and the road surface.
This reduces a tyre’s frictional resistance
on the road, resulting in loss of steering
stability and braking capability.
To cope with this, observe the following
items:
(a) Drive your vehicle at slow
speed.
(b) Do not drive on worn tyres.
(c) Always maintain the specified
tyre inflation pressures.
On a snow-covered or frozen
road
l When driving on a snow-covered or fro-
zen road, it is recommended that you use
snow tyres or snow traction device (tyre
chains).
Refer to the “Snow tyres” and “Snow
traction device (tyre chains)” sections.
l
Avoid high-speed operation, sudden ac-
celeration, abrupt brake application and
sharp cornering.
l Depressing the brake pedal during travel
on snowy or icy roads may cause tyre
slippage and skidding. When traction be-
tween the tyres and the road is reduced
the wheels may skid and the vehicle can-
not readily be brought to a stop by con-
ventional braking techniques. Braking
will differ, depending upon whether you
have anti-lock brake system (ABS). As
your vehicle is equipped with ABS,
brake by pressing the brake pedal hard,
and keeping it pressed.
l Allow extra distance between your vehi-
cle and the vehicle in front of you, and
avoid sudden braking.
l Accumulation of ice on the braking sys-
tem can cause the wheels to lock. Pull
away from a standstill slowly after con-
firming safety around the vehicle.
CAUTION
l Do not press the accelerator pedal rapidly. If
the wheels break free of the ice, the vehicle
could suddenly start moving and possibly
cause an accident.
On a bumpy or rutted road
l Drive as slow as possible when driving
on bumpy or rutted roads.
