When backing down a ramp during boat launching or retrieval:
- Do not allow the static water level to rise above the bottom edge of the rear bumper.
- Do not allow waves to break higher than
6 in (15 cm) above the bottom edge of the rear bumper.
Exceeding
6 in (15 cm) could allow water to enter vehicle components, causing internal damage to the components and affecting driveability, emissions and reliability.
Note:
Replace the rear axle lubricant anytime the rear axle has been submerged in water.
Note:
Disconnect the trailer wiring connector before backing the trailer into the water.
Note:
Reconnect the trailer wiring connector after removing the trailer from the water.
