STARTING & DRIVING Driving In Adverse Conditions
Driving Through Water :
Never venture to drive through water when it flows above
the stone guard or above the tyre centre line.
The engine may get seriously damaged if attempts are
made to cross through deep water.
If at all the situation demands that you have to drive through
water even at great risk then,
Keep the engine in fast idling and 'crawl' in low gear.
After driving through water apply the brakes several times
to dry the liners and to regain original braking.
Check the engine and transaxle for any water ingress.
Do not attempt to start the engine if the car gets flooded
due to water.
Tow the car to a safe place.
Take the car to the nearest Authorised Service outlet to
check for entry of water in the engine.
Lubricants in the engine and transaxle need to be changed
in case of water entry.
