When backing down a ramp
during boat launching or retrieval:
•
Do not allow the static water
level to rise above the bottom
edge of the rear bumper.
•
Do not allow waves to break
higher than 6 in (15 cm) above
the bottom edge of the rear
bumper.
Exceeding these limits may allow
water to enter vehicle
components:
•
Causing internal damage to the
components.
•
Affecting driveability, emissions
and reliability.
Replace the rear axle lubricant
anytime the rear axle has been
submerged in water. Water may
have contaminated the rear axle
lubricant, which is not normally
checked or changed unless a leak
is suspected or other axle repair is
required.
