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.
