Driving and Operating 195
When driving over mud or sand,
maintain vehicle motion by using a
low gear.
Due to the loss of traction, it
becomes more difficult to steer,
accelerate and brake. For better
traction while driving through very
loose sand, slightly relieve the tire
air pressure.
Note
After driving in mud or sand, clean
and check brake linings. If this is not
performed, it may cause irregular
braking or glassy lining. Check body
structure, steering, suspension,
wheels, tires and the exhaust
system.
Driving on Wet Roads
Driving through Flooded Areas
Flooded areas should be avoided in
any situation. A water covered road
prevents the driver from evaluating
its conditions properly.
Drive at low speed through any
flooded area and make sure the
water limit does not exceed the
wheel center of height.
Avoid driving near large vehicles.
They may create waves that can
cause damage.
Caution
Water can enter the engine
through the air intake system.
If this happens and the vehicle
stops, do not try to operate the
engine again because this will
increase the engine damages.
Caution
Water may have a chance to get
into the drive shaft. When driving
through a flooded and leveled
road water is over half a wheel.
Should visit the service center to
check. Examine or change the
drive shaft lubricant.
Driving in the Rain
Rain and wet roads can mean
driving trouble. On a wet road you
cannot stop, accelerate or turn as
