Starting and driving
•
Drive very slowly on bumpy roads and take care
not to allow the undercarriage to bottom out.
When the diesel particulate filter (DPF) strikes a
rock or other obstacle, its internal catalyst and
ceramic filter may be damaged. Have it checked
by an authorized dealer.
•
Avoid sudden steering and sudden braking on
roads which are slippery from rain. Conditions
are especially dangerous just after it begins to
rain. Use engine braking and the exhaust brake
together with the wheel brakes to decelerate.
Note, however, that sudden engine braking can
cause a skid. Drive at a speed at which you can
stay comfortably in control of the vehicle.
•
Brake performance may deteriorate when the
vehicle is driven through puddles or washed and
if water enters the brake drums. If this happens,
drive slowly while paying careful attention to sur-
rounding traffic and keeping light pressure on
the brake pedal to dry the brake shoes and
drums.
•
Avoid driving when the road is covered with
much water because of torrential rain or other
causes. Should your vehicle be soaked by
water, have it inspected by an authorized dealer
as soon as possible.
•
If water gets into the engine, it can cause
engine damage.
•
If water gets into the high-current fuse box, it
can cause a short circuit that may result in a
fire.
•
If water gets into wheel hub bearings, king
pins, tie rod ends, and the components
around them, it can cause the bearings and
other parts used in them to be rusted and
ultimately to seize up.
•
If water gets into the DPF, the oxidation cata-
lyst and ceramic filter could be damaged.
•
In fog, drive carefully at low speeds, paying
attention to the center line and the vehicle
ahead of you.
•
When driving in snow or on frozen roads, use
tire chains or snow tires and drive at moderate
speeds. Avoid sudden braking and sharp turns.
