CAUTION
Engine damage will occur if water is
drawn into the air cleaner.
Damage to any components, the engine,
transmission, turbo-charger, differential or
its internal components caused by flood-
ing, vapor lock or insufficient oil is not
covered under warranty.
Do not allow the vehicle to stand in water
up to the door sills longer than absolutely
necessary. This could result in electrical
malfunctions.
If the engine has been stopped while the
vehicle is in water, do not attempt to
restart it. Have the vehicle towed out of
the water.
WARNING
Avoid driving through standing or rushing
water. Doing so can be dangerous and it
may also be difficult to determine the
actual depth of the water.
If water cannot be avoided, after driving
through the water, press lightly on the
brake pedal to ensure that the brakes are
functioning normally. Water or mud can
make the brake linings slippery, resulting
in delayed braking effect.
