Warning
Driving in water can cause loss of vehicle
control or vehicle damage. As water
depths increase, reduce the vehicle speed.
Never drive through water deeper
than the driver s side front gravel
guard behind the front tire.
Be aware of submerged obstacles.
Never open your doors while in water.
Warning
Driving through flowing water can be
dangerous and have an unpredictable
effect on vehicle control. Even shallow
water can wash away the ground from
under your tires. Traction could be lost,
the vehicle could be swept downstream
or the vehicle could roll over. Do not
drive through rushing water.
Caution
Do not drive through standing water if it
is deep enough to cover the gravel
guards. Deep water can damage vehicle
parts.
Before driving in water:
Determine the depth of the water.
Enter the water slowly. If the water is
deeper than the center of the front hubs,
never exceed 5 km/h (3 mph).
Always drive in the direction of the
current.
Avoid oncoming vehicles as they will
increase the water depth surrounding
your vehicle.
