SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS

Hazardous driving conditions

Rocking the vehicle

When hazardous driving elements

are encountered such as water,

snow, ice, mud and sand, take the

If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to

free it from snow, sand, or mud, first

turn the steering wheel right and left

to clear the area around your front

wheels. Then, shift back and forth

Accelerate slowly to avoid unnec-

essary wheel spin.

Try to avoid spinning the wheels, and

do not race the engine.

other non-slip materials under the

wheels to provide additional trac-

tion whilst the vehicle becomes

stuck in ice, snow, or mud.

To prevent transmission wear, wait

until the wheels stop spinning before

shifting gears. Release the accelera-

tor pedal whilst shifting, and press

lightly on the accelerator pedal whilst

the transmission is in gear. Slowly

spinning the wheels in forward and

reverse directions causes a rocking

motion that may free the vehicle.

WARNING

Downshifting with an Automated

manual transmission, whilst driv-

ing on slippery surfaces can cause

an accident. The sudden change in

tyre speed could cause the tyres to

skid. Be careful when downshift-

ing on slippery surfaces.

WARNING

If the vehicle is stuck and exces-

sive wheel spin occurs, the tem-

perature in the tyres can increase

very quickly. If the tyres become

damaged, a tyre blow out or tyre

explosion can occur. This condi-

tion is dangerous - you and others

may be injured. Do not attempt this

procedure if people or objects are

anywhere near the vehicle.

If you attempt to free the vehicle,

the vehicle can overheat quickly,

possibly causing an engine com-

partment fire or other damage. Try

to avoid spinning the wheels as

much as possible to prevent over-

heating of either the tyres or the

engine. DO NOT allow the vehicle

to spin the wheels above 35 mph

(56 km/h).

Driving in the rain

Information

Rain and wet roads can make driving

dangerous. Here are a few things to

consider when driving in the rain or

it harder to see and increases the

distance needed to stop your vehi-

cle.

NOTICE

If you are still stuck after rocking

the vehicle a few times, have the

vehicle pulled out by a tow vehicle

to avoid engine overheating, pos-

sible damage to the transmission,

and tyre damage. See “Towing” in

chapter 6.

Smooth cornering

Avoid braking or gear changing in

corners, especially when roads are

wet. Ideally, corners should always

be taken under gentle acceleration.

tread. If your tyres do not have

enough tread, making a quick stop

on wet pavement can cause a skid

and possibly lead to an accident.

See “Tyre replacement” in chap-

ter 8.

Driving at night

Night driving presents more hazards

than driving in the daylight. Here are

Under-inflation may overheat or dam-

age the tyres.

If the road is wet enough and you are

going fast enough, your vehicle may

have little or no contact with the road

surface and actually ride on the water.

The best advice is SLOW DOWN

when the road is wet.

Do not install worn-out or damaged

tyres, which may reduce traction or

fail the braking operation.

The risk of hydroplaning increases

as the depth of tyre tread decreas-

es, refer to “Tyre replacement” in

chapter 8.

Information

1ever over-inflate your tyres above the

maximum inflation pressure, as speci-

fied on your tyres.

Driving in flooded areas

Avoid driving through flooded areas

unless you are sure the water is no

higher than the bottom of the wheel

hub. Drive through any water slowly.

Allow adequate stopping distance

because brake performance may be

reduced.

Fuel, engine coolant and engine

oil

Driving at higher speeds on the high-

way consumes more fuel and is less

efficient than driving at a slower, more

when driving on the highway.

After driving through water, dry the

eral times whilst the vehicle is moving
