become visible.

DRIVING THROUGH WATER

Driving through water more than a few inches/

centimeters deep will require extra caution to ensure

safety and prevent damage to your vehicle.

Do not drive on or across a road or path where water

is flowing and/or rising (as in storm run-off). Flow-

ing water can wear away the road or path's surface

and cause your vehicle to sink into deeper water.

Furthermore, flowing and/or rising water can carry

your vehicle away swiftly. Failure to follow this

warning may result in injuries that are serious or

fatal to you, your passengers, and others around you.

Although your vehicle is capable of driving through

shallow standing water, consider the following Cautions

and Warnings before doing so.
