Driv ing through w ater
Do not exceed the maximum wading
depth; if the water is slightly lower than the
underbody of the vehicle, do not attempt
to drive through it.
Check the depth of water; choose the
lowest entry and departure angles before
entering.
Maintain a steady engine speed to help
prevent water from entering the exhaust
system, but do not exceed 3 mph (5 km/h)
to avoid splashing the water.
Drive with the flow wherever possible, not
against it. If you have to drive against the
flow, try to drive at an angle to it, so that
the leading corner of the vehicle will help
deflect water from the engine
compartment.
Avoid splashing the water - if the ignition
system becomes wet, the engine may stall.
Avoid water entering the air intake system.
Test the brakes after leaving the water -
wet brak es are less effec tiv e than dry ones.
To restore normal braking, check behind
you for other vehicles, keep a safe forward
speed allowing plenty of space to the rear
and sides, and gently apply brakes until
normal performance is restored.
Perform the Service operations for wading,
involving checks for water contamination,
at the earliest opportunity.
Service checks after wading -
see page 121.
Self-help
Recovery and towing
When recovering or towing a vehicle
off-road, observe the following:
z A greater force is required to move a
vehicle from or through mud than when
on a hard surfaced road.
z Attach a tow rope to the towing eye of
the vehicle, not to the axle -
see pages 153, 163.
z Where possible, d riv e b oth vehicles
forwards to affect a recovery, using an
appropriate gear to avoid wheelspin.
z Avoid the use of reverse gear because of
possible resultant wheelspin.
z Stay clear of the tow rope.
Wheel changing
Place a board or plate beneath the jack to
prevent it from sinking into soft ground.
Further information - see page 167.
9 Warning
If water enters the engine air intake
system, engine seizure with severe costly
damage may result.
9 Wa rnin g
