Off-Road Driving
Before driving off-road:
.
Check the fuel level. Fuel 0 221.
.
Check spare tyre pressure. See
Tyre Pressure 0 289.
.
Check fluid levels. See Engine
Compartment Overview 0 235.
While driving off-road:
.
Be alert to unexpected
restrictions.
.
Be aware of uncommon noises
from the tyres and the engine.
.
Always drive at a speed at which
you are able to maintain control
of the vehicle.
Caution
When driving off-road, sudden
motion and manoeuvres can
make you lose control of the
steering. This could cause a
collision. Therefore, when driving
on-road and off-road, you and
your passengers should wear
seat belts.
After driving off-road:
.
Remove any debris from under
the vehicle or bonnet. It may
become a fire hazard.
.
After driving through mud or
sand, clean and check the brake
linings.
.
Check the body frame, steering,
suspension, wheels, tyres,
exhaust system, fuel lines and
cooling system.
Note
Regular off-road driving requires
more frequent maintenance.
Water Crossing
Before crossing water:
.
Switch off the air-conditioning.
.
Do not attempt to drive through
water more than 600 mm deep.
.
Never drive into fast-running
water. The force of the water can
easily move the vehicle
sideways, possibly into deeper
water.
.
Drive very slowly through deep
water. Driving too fast may
cause water to enter the engine
and cause major damage.
.
Immediately after driving through
deep water, drive slowly and
check the brake pedal force.
