When you are driving through water do not
exceed 4 mph (7 km/h).
Never stop or shut a vehicle off when
crossing deep water unless your vehicle
ingested water into the engine air intake.
If the engine stalls, do not attempt to
restart it. Keep the doors fully closed during
a water crossing.
Extra care must be taken crossing any type
of water. Do not drive into water unless
necessary. Only drive through areas that
are designated and approved. Determine
exit points that are downstream of your
entry point to allow for drifting. If there are
other vehicles ahead, wait until they have
left the water. Unsettled water can make
a safe passage more challenging.
High currents even in shallow water can
wash the dirt out from around your tires or
push your vehicle across slippery rocks or
surfaces. Never attempt to cross flowing
water that is deeper than your vehicle's
ground clearance. Even in low currents your
vehicle's body surface area can be pushed
downstream and out of control. Do not
cross any body of water that is fast flowing
and rising, wait for the flow rate to reduce.

Vehicles used to traverse water regularly
should be periodically inspected for signs
of water ingestion in all of the vehicle's
fluids. If water is found inside your vehicle
fluids, service your vehicle or see an
authorized dealer.
After driving through water and as soon as
it is safe to do so, check the brakes, horn,
lights, and steering wheel to make sure
everything is still in working order.
AFTER DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
OFF-ROAD
WARNING: After off-road use,
before returning to the road, check the
wheels and tires for damage. Off-road
use may cause damage to your wheels
and tires that can lead to tire failure, loss
of vehicle control, serious injury or death.
WARNING: Always re-inflate tires
to recommended tire pressures before
the vehicle is operated on-road. The
recommended pressure is located on the
tire label or safety certification label,
located on the B-pillar, inside the driver's
door.
Driving off-road places more stress on your
vehicle than most on-road driving. After
driving off-road check for damage to your
vehicle and, if necessary, have your vehicle
fixed as soon as possible.
Inspect the underbody of your vehicle by
checking tires, body structure, steering,
suspension, and exhaust system for
damage.
Check the radiator for mud and debris and
clean as needed.
Remove accumulations of plants or brush.
These things could be a fire hazard or hide
damage to the fuel lines, brake hoses, and
propeller shafts.
