WATER AND YOUR VEHICLE
CAUTION
After a car wash or driving
through a puddle, the brakes
may not work well. Apply light
pedal pressure until the brakes
work normally.
Do not drive through deep
puddles. If water enters into an
air inlet, it might damage the
engine. If you must drive
through a puddle, drive careful-
ly so as not to allow the water to
splash against the underbody of
the vehicle.
CAUTION
(Continued)
Flowing or rushing water
creates strong forces. If you try
to drive through flowing water,
as you might at a low water
crossing, your vehicle can be
carried away. As little as six
inches of flowing water can
carry away a smaller vehicle. If
this happens, you and other
vehicle occupants could drown.
Don't ignore police warning
signs, and otherwise be very
cautious about trying to drive
through flowing water.
Important Safety Precautions
DRIVING ON HILLS
CAUTION
If you need to stop on a hill, do
not hold the vehicle there with
the accelerator pedal. This
could damage the transmission.
Apply the brakes to hold the
vehicle in position.
When you are going down a
steep hill, use a lower shift
range, along with the brakes, to
control the vehicle's speed.
Do not coast downhill in
Neutral or with the ignition off.
The brakes could overheat and
you could have an accident.
