If your vehicle becomes stuck in sand, mud or
snow
If the vehicle becomes stuck in snow, sand, or mud, it can often
be moved by a rocking motion. Move the selector lever alter-
nately between the Sports mode and “R” (REVERSE) position
(with M/T, between 1st and Reverse), while applying slight
pressure to the accelerator pedal.
Avoid racing the engine or spinning the wheels. Prolonged
efforts to free a stuck vehicle may result in overheating and
transmission failure. Allow the engine to idle for a few minutes
to let the transmission cool between rocking attempts.
If the vehicle remains stuck after several rocking attempts, seek
other assistance.
On a flooded road
●
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.
●
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 capabil-
ity.
To cope with this, observe the following items:
WARNING
!
●
When attempting to rock your vehicle out of a stuck
position, be sure that the area around the vehicle is
clear of people and physical objects. The rocking
motion may cause the vehicle to suddenly launch
forward or backward, causing injury or damage to
nearby people or objects.
(a) Drive your vehicle at a slow speed.
(b) Do not drive on worn tyres. Always maintain the
specified tyre inflation pressures.
