STARTING & DRIVING
-
Driving in Adverse Condition
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 entry.
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.
