Driving through water
CAUTION   CAUTION:  Drive through water in an emergency only, and not as part of normal driving.
CAUTION   CAUTION:  Engine damage can occur if water enters the air filter.

In an emergency, the vehicle can be driven through water to a maximum depth of 200 millimeters (8 inches) and at a maximum speed of 10 km/h (6 mph). Extra caution should be exercised when driving through flowing water.
When driving in water, maintain a low speed and do not stop the vehicle. After driving through water, and as soon as it is safe to do so:
  • Depress the brake pedal lightly and check that full brake function is achieved.
  • Check that the horn works.
  • Check that the vehicle's lights are fully operational.
  • Check the power assistance of the steering system.
