On flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could seriously damage your
vehicle's motor and electrical systems.


If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:
► Check that the depth of water does not
exceed 10 cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users.
►
Drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In
all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h).
► Do not stop and do not switch off the motor.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety
conditions allow

, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in any doubt about the condition of your
vehicle, consult a dealer or qualified workshop.
