Driving through water on roads
r"f"'n First read and observe the introductory l-J,::.U information and safety warnings & on page 33.
Please follow these rules to help prevent damage to your vehicle when driving through water, for ex-ample if the road is flooded:
• Check the depth of the water before driving through it. The water level must be no higher than the lower edge of the vehicle body
• Do not drive faster than walking speed.
• Never stop the vehicle, reverse or switch off the engine while in water.
• Oncoming vehicles will create waves that could increase the water level for your vehicle to such an extent that it is not safe to drive through the water.
• Always switch off the start/stop system manual-ly when driving through water.
A wARNING
After driving through water, mud, slush etc., the brakes may react slowly and the braking distance will be increased as the brake discs and pads will be wet, or possibly iced up in winter.
• You can "dry and de-ice" the brakes by performing careful braking manoeuvres. Make sure that you do not endanger any oth-er road users or violate any legal regulations when doing so.
• Avoid abrupt and sudden braking ma-noeuvres directly after driving through water.
CD
• If you drive through water, parts of the vehi-cle, such as the engine, drive train, running gear and vehicle electrics, could sustain severe damage.
• Never drive through salt water as salt can cause corrosion. Rinse all components that have been exposed to salt water immediately with fresh water. <1
