After Off-Road Driving
It is important to complete a full vehicle
inspection after off-road driving. Some
items to check include:
•
Make sure that you inflate the tires to
the proper tire pressure as indicated on
the tire placard.
•
Check the wheels and undercarriage
for a buildup of mud or debris, which
can cause vehicle vibration.
•
Make sure that the grille and radiator
are clear of any obstructions that may
affect cooling.
•
Make sure that the brakes are in proper
working order and free of any mud,
stones and debris, which can become
trapped around the brake rotor,
backing plate and caliper.
•
Check that the air filter is clean and dry.
•
Inspect for torn or punctured boots on
ball joints, half shafts, steering gears.
•
Inspect exhaust system for damage or
looseness.
•
Inspect undercarriage fasteners. If any
are loose or damaged, tighten or
replace and make sure that you use the
proper torque specification.
•
Inspect the tires for any cuts in the
tread or sidewall area. Also inspect the
sidewall for any bulge, indicating
damage to the tire.
•
Inspect the wheels for dents, cracks,
or other damage.
•
Clear any debris from the exhaust
components. For example, grass or hay.
DRIVING THROUGH WATER
WARNING:
Do not drive through
flowing or deep water as you may lose
control of your vehicle.
Note:
Driving through standing water can
cause vehicle damage.
Note:
Engine damage can occur if water
enters the air filter.
Before driving through standing water,
check the depth. Never drive through water
that is higher than the bottom of the wheel
hubs.

When driving through standing water, drive
very slowly and do not stop your vehicle.
Your brake performance and traction may
be limited. After driving through water and
as soon as it is safe to do so:
•
Lightly press the brake pedal to dry the
brakes and to check that they work.
•
Check that the horn works.
•
Check that the exterior lights work.
•
Turn the steering wheel to check that
the steering power assist works.
FLOOR MATS
WARNING:
Use a floor mat
designed to fit the footwell of your
vehicle that does not obstruct the pedal
area. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death.
