Driving Through Water
Your vehicle can drive through
shallow water. Make sure the
water is no deeper than the floor
of the vehicle. Follow these
precautions when driving
through water:
1. Check water depth. Never
drive through water that is
deeper than the floor level.
2. After driving through water,
test the brakes. Apply them
lightly several times while
driving slowly. The friction
will help dry out the pads.
NOTICE:
Major engine damage can result if the vehicle is not thoroughly
inspected after operation in water. Perform the services outlined in
maintenance chart. See page 46. Give special attention to engine
transmission oil and all grease fittings.
If your vehicle is operated in water deeper than the floor level, talk
to your dealer for service before starting the engine. If it's
impossible to bring the vehicle to your dealer before starting the
engine, perform the service outlined on page 71, and take the
vehicle to your dealer as soon as possible.
