Driving
Through
Water
Your
vehicle
can
drive
through
shallow
water.
Make
sure
the
water
is
no
deeper
than
the
floor
of
the
vehicle.
Follow
these
precautions
when
driving
through
water:
1.
Check
water
depth.
Never
drive
through
water
that
is
deeper
than
the
floor
level.
2.
After
driving
through
water,
test
the
brakes.
Apply
them
lightly
several
times
while

The
friction

help
dry
out
the
pads.

for
service
before

perform
the
service
outlined
