DRIVING IN MUD
Be cautious of sudden changes in vehicle speed or direction
when you are driving in mud, even four-wheel drive vehicles
can lose traction in slick mud. If your vehicle does slide, steer
in the direction of the slide until you regain control of your
vehicle. After driving through mud, clean off residue stuck
to rotating driveshafts and tires. Excess mud stuck on tires
and rotating driveshafts can cause an imbalance that could
damage drive components.
DRIVING OVER ROCKS AND GRAVEL
When approaching large rocks, position the vehicle so that
the tires pass over the largest obstacle. Never attempt to
straddle a rock that is large enough to strike your axles or
undercarriage, or drive over a rock which is large enough
to contact the door sills. If you lose traction on your uphill
wheels, stop immediately and choose a more suitable route.
Gravel is a constantly changing, low-grip surface. Driving at
slow speeds on gravel reduces the risk of losing traction when
you stop, accelerate or take a corner. Leave a generous gap
between your vehicle and other vehicles, to minimize the risk
of damage from flying gravel. Avoid dust clouds as they
reduce visibility.
DRIVING THROUGH WATER
Determine the depth before attempting a water crossing. You
should never stop or shut a vehicle off when crossing deep
water unless you ingested water into the engine air intake.
Slowly proceed and avoid splashing water any more than is
necessary. Failure to follow the recommended speeds can
result in vehicle damage. After driving through water and as
soon as it is safe to do so, check the brakes, horn, lights and
steering wheel to make sure everything is still in working order.
