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.
