Driving through water
N00537800098
If the electrical circuits become wet, further operation of the
vehicle will be impossible; therefore, avoid driving through
water unless absolutely necessary. If driving through water is
unavoidable, use the following procedure:
Check the depth of the water and the terrain before attempting
to drive through it. Drive slowly to avoid creating excessive
water splashing.
Inspection and maintenance following
rough road operation
N00530700098
After operating the vehicle in rough road conditions, be sure to
perform the following inspection and maintenance procedures:
●
Check that the vehicle has not been damaged by rocks,
gravel, etc.
●
Carefully wash the vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightly depressing the
brake pedal in order to dry out the brakes. If the brakes
still do not function properly, contact an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice as soon as possible to have the brakes checked.
●
Remove the insects, dried grass, etc. clogging the radiator
core.
●
After driving through water, check the engine, transaxle
and differential oil. If the oil or grease is milky or cloudy
because of water contamination, it must be replaced with
new oil.
●
Check the inside of the vehicle. If water entry is found,
dry the carpet etc.
●
Inspect the headlights. If water is in the headlight housing,
have it drained at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility of your choice.
●
Have an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer replace
grease in the wheel bearings.
CAUTION
!
●
Never drive through water that is deep enough to
cover wheel hubs, axles or exhaust pipe. Do not
change the gearshift lever position (M/T) or the
selector lever position (CVT) while driving through
water.
Frequent driving through water can adversely affect
the life span of the vehicle; consult an authorized
Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice and take the necessary measures to prepare,
inspect, and repair the vehicle.
●
After driving through water, apply the brakes to be
sure they are functioning properly. If the brakes are
wet and not functioning properly, dry them out by
driving slowly while lightly depressing the brake
pedal. Inspect each part of the vehicle carefully.
