systems without authorization, or a
fire might be caused.

Driving through deep water
When you are about to drive through
deep water, you must check the puddle
or standing water is not too deep. If you

water can enter your engine through the
air intake causing severe damage.
Note
If your vehicle stops while driving
through deep water, then do not start the
engine and have your vehicle checked
from CHEVROLET retailer.
Caution
Before attempting to drive through
deep water, always observe the
following precautions :
—
Do not drive through water if the
depth is slightly lower than the
underbody of your vehicle.
—
Drive as slow as you can at speed
limit less than 10 km/h.

encies. This will allow your brakes

tions, and prolonged high-speed
