The maximum advisable wading depth is ap-
proximately 15.7 in.(40 cm).
Before driving through water, such as when
crossing shallow streams, first check the depth
of the water and the bottom of the river bed for
firmness. Drive slowly at the speed of 3mph
(5 km/h) and avoid deep water.
Take all necessary safety measures to ensure
that water damage to the engine or other ve-
hicle parts does not occur.
Water entering the engine air intake will cause
severe engine damage.
Water can wash the grease from wheel bear-
ings, causing rusting and premature failure, and
may also enter the axles, transmission and
transfer case, reducing the gear oil's lubricating
qualities.
