WARNING
●
After driving through tall grass,
mud, rock, sand, rivers, etc., check
that there is no grass, bush, paper,
rags, stone, sand, etc. adhering or
trapped on the underbody. Clear off
any such matter from the under-
body. If the vehicle is used with
these materials trapped or adhering
to the underbody, a breakdown or
fire could occur.
●
When driving off-road or in rugged
terrain, do not drive at excessive
speeds, jump, make sharp turns,
strike objects, etc. This may cause
loss of control or vehicle rollover
causing death or serious injury. You
are also risking expensive damage
to your vehicle’s suspension and
chassis.
NOTICE
■
To prevent water damage
Take all necessary safety measures
to ensure that water damage to the
hybrid battery (traction battery),
hybrid system or other components
does not occur.
●
Water entering the engine compart-
ment may cause severe damage to
the hybrid system. Water entering
the interior may cause the hybrid
battery (traction battery) stowed
under the rear seats to short circuit.
●
Water entering the hybrid transmis-
sion will cause deterioration in
transmission quality. The malfunc-
tion indicator may come on, and the
vehicle may not be drivable.
●
Water can wash the grease from
wheel bearings, causing rusting
and premature failure, and may
also enter the hybrid transmission
case, reducing the gear oil’s lubri-
cating qualities.
■
When you drive through water
If driving through water, such as when
crossing shallow streams, first check
the depth of the water and the bottom
of the riverbed for firmness. Drive
slowly and avoid deep water.
■
Inspection after off-road driving
●
Sand and mud that has accumu-
lated in brake drums and around
brake discs may affect braking effi-
ciency and may damage brake sys-
tem components.
●
Always perform a maintenance
inspection after each day of off-road
driving that has taken you through
rough terrain, sand, mud, or water.
