DRIVING IN WATER
Light rain causes no special off-
road driving problems. But heavy
rain can mean flash flooding, and
flood waters demand extreme
caution.
Find out how deep the water is
before you drive through it. If it’s
deep enough to cover your wheel
hubs, axles or exhaust pipe, don’t
drive through it. Also, water that is
deep can damage your axle and
other vehicle parts.
Your vehicle is capable of handling
water depths up to 50.8 cm
(20 inches).
If the water isn’t too deep, then
drive through it slowly. At fast
speeds, water splashes on your
ignition system and your vehicle
can stall. Stalling can also occur if
you get your tailpipe under water.
And, as long as your tailpipe is
under water, you’ll never be able
to start your engine. When you go
through water, remember that
when your brakes get wet, it may
take you longer to stop.
CAUTION
Driving through rushing water
can be dangerous. Deep water
can sweep your vehicle down-
stream and you and your
passengers could drown. If it’s
only shallow water; it can still
wash away the ground from
under your tyres, and you could
lose traction and roll the vehicle
over. Don’t drive through rush-
ing water.
