Special driving conditions
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
affected.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them several
times while the vehicle is moving slowly.
If the brake system is wet and has
reduced braking effect or frequent
sounds when braking, adjust the setting
for the regenerative braking to '0' speed
with paddle shifter and apply the brake
pedal lightly several times. Maintain a
safe distance to dry the brake system.
Setting the regenerative braking to '0'
may reduce efficiency while braking sev
-
eral times for brake performance, but
this is normal. The regenerative braking
system will be normally operated after
-
wards.
Driving off-road
Drive carefully off-road because your
vehicle may be damaged by rocks or
roots of trees. Become familiar with the
off-road conditions where you are going
to drive before you begin driving.
Highway driving
Tires
Adjust the tire inflation pressures to
specification. Low tire inflation pressures
will result in overheating and possible
failure of the tires.
Avoid using worn or damaged tires
which may result in reduced traction or
tire failure.
Never exceed the maximum tire inflation
pressure shown on the tires.
WARNING
Under/Overinflated Tires
Always check the tires for proper infla
-
tion before driving. Underinflated or
overinflated tires can cause poor han
-
dling, loss of vehicle control, and sudden
tire failure leading to accidents, injuries,
and even death. For proper tire pres
-
sures, refer to "Tires and wheels" on
page 9-4.
WARNING
Tire Tread
Always check the tire tread before driv
-
ing your vehicle. Worn-out tires can
result in loss of vehicle control. Worn-out
tires should be replaced as soon as pos
-
sible. For further information and tread
limits, refer to "Tires and wheels" on
page 8-19.
