CAUTION! (Continued)
Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when
driving through standing water. This will
minimize wave effects.
Driving through standing water may
cause damage to your vehicle's drive-
train components. Always inspect your
vehicle's fluids (i.e., engine oil, trans-
mission, axle, etc.) for signs of contami-
nation (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.
Getting water inside your vehicle's
engine can cause it to lock up and stall
out, and cause serious internal damage
to the engine. Such damage is not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
Overloading
NOTE:
Be careful not to overload your vehicle. The
gross axle weight rating (GAWR) and the
gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the
vehicle are on the Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dard Label on the driver's door frame.
Exceeding these ratings can cause an acci-
dent or vehicle damage. You can estimate
the weight of the load by weighing the items
(or people) before putting them in the
vehicle.
Driving On Uneven Road
Your vehicle's suspension and underbody
can be damaged if driven on rough/uneven
roads or over speed bumps at excessive
speeds.
Use care and reduce speed when traveling on
rough/uneven roads or over speed bumps.
Use care not to damage the vehicle's under-
body, bumpers or muffler(s) when driving
under the following conditions:
Ascending or descending a slope with a
sharp transition angle.
Ascending or descending a driveway or
trailer ramp with a sharp transition angle.
This vehicle is equipped with low profile tires
allowing class-leading performance and
handling. As a result, the sidewall of the tires
are very thin and the tires and wheels can be
damaged if driven through potholes or on
rough/uneven roads at excessive speeds.
Use care and reduce speed when traveling on
rough/uneven roads or through potholes.
