Operation under adverse driving conditions

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:
On a snow-covered or frozen road
●
When driving on a snow-covered or frozen road, it is rec-
ommended that you use snow tyres or tyre chains.
Refer to the “Snow tyres” and “Tyre chains” sections.
●
Avoid high-speed operation, sudden acceleration, abrupt
brake application and sharp cornering.
●
Depressing the brake pedal during travel on snowy or icy
roads may cause tyre slippage and skidding. When trac-
tion between the tyres and the road is reduced the wheels
may skid and the vehicle cannot readily be brought to a
stop by conventional braking techniques. Braking will dif-
fer, depending upon whether you have anti-lock brakes
(ABS). As your vehicle is equipped with ABS, brake by
pressing the brake pedal hard, and keeping it pressed.
●
Allow extra distance between your vehicle and the vehicle
in front of you, and avoid sudden braking.
On a bumpy or rutted road
Drive as slow as possible when driving on bumpy or rutted
roads.
(a) Drive your vehicle at slow speed.
(b) Do not drive on worn tyres.
(c) Always maintain the specified tyre inflation pres-
sures.
CAUTION
!
●
The impact on tyres and/or wheels when driving on
a bumpy or rutted road can damage the tyre and/or
wheel.
