IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
(Continued)
• Make sure that no window,
door, trunk or hatch at the rear
of the vehicle is open if you are
pulling a trailer.
• Engine exhaust may also be
entering your vehicle if:
– your exhaust system sounds
strange or different
– your vehicle gets rusty
underneath
– your vehicle has been dam-
aged or improperly serviced
– the base of your vehicle,
especially your exhaust pipe,
is blocked by snow or debris
If you suspect that exhaust is
entering your vehicle, drive with
all the windows open, turn the air
conditioning (if equipped) on to
any setting that circulates outside
air and have the vehicle serviced
immediately.
Water and Your Vehicle
CAUTION
After a car wash or driving
through a puddle, the brakes
may not work well. Apply light
pedal pressure until the brakes
work normally.
Do not drive through deep
puddles. If water enters into an
air inlet, it might damage the
engine. If you must drive through
a puddle, drive carefully so as not
to allow the water to splash
against the underbody of the
vehicle.
CAUTION
(Continued)
Flowing or rushing water creates
strong forces. If you try to drive
through flowing water, as you
might at a low water crossing,
your vehicle can be carried away.
As little as six inches of flowing
water can carry away a smaller
vehicle. If this happens, you and
other vehicle occupants could
drown. Don’t ignore police warn-
ing signs, and otherwise be very
cautious about trying to drive
through flowing water.
