to your vehicle's drivetrain components. Always
inspect your vehicle's fluids (i.e., transmission,
coolant, etc.) for signs of contamination (i.e., fluid
that is milky or foamy in appearance) after driving
through standing water. Do not continue to operate
the vehicle if any fluid appears contaminated, as
this may result in further damage. Such damage is
not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
• Driving through standing water limits your vehi-

injuries that are serious or fatal to you, your pas-
sengers, and others around you.
