Driving through water
Before driving through water, determine its depth. It
should not be deeper than approximately
20 inches (50 cm).
Enter the water only at a shallow spot. Never take a
running start. Drive slowly, avoiding a bow wave.
Do not stop vehicle immersed in water, and do not shut
off the engine.
To dry the brakes, apply pressure to the brake pedal
several times after leaving the water.
Returning from off-road driving
Switch off the LOW RANGE mode, see page 169.
Remove excessive dirt from tires, wheels, wheel
housings, and underbody. For instance, after driving
in mud, clean the radiator, chassis, engine, brakes,
and wheels from extreme dirt, using a strong jet of
water.
Inspect frame, oil pan, brake hoses, etc., as well as
vehicle underbody for possible damage.
Check tires for possible damage, clean all exterior
lamps, and conduct a brake test.

other bumper-type hitches to them.
To reduce the possibility of damage, remove the hitch
ball adaptor from the receiver when not in use.
