WARNING:
Do not attempt to cross a deep, fast flowing body of water. Failure to follow this instruction could result in the loss of control of your vehicle, personal injury or death. |
As the water depth increases, you must reduce your vehicle speed to avoid potential vehicle damage.
- Always determine the depth before attempting a water crossing. Never drive through water that is higher than the bottom of the wheel hubs.
- Slowly proceed and avoid splashing water any more than is necessary.
- Be aware that obstacles and debris may be beneath the water’s surface.
- Keep the doors fully closed during the water crossing.
- After driving through water and as soon as it is safe to do so check the brakes, horn, lights, and steering wheel to confirm those systems are functioning properly.
Note:
Engine damage can occur if water enters the air filter.
