Driving Through Water; Flowing/Rising Water - Chrysler 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT Owner's Manual

NOTE:
• Launch Mode brings the engine to opti-
mum RPM and waits for the driver to
release the brake. Launch Mode then
uses engine throttle only to achieve con-
trolled wheelslip for maximum accelera-
tion through first gear.
• Launch Mode can be initiated in any of the
Select Trac Modes.
• Launch Mode is not available until the 500
mile break-in has been achieved.

DRIVING THROUGH WATER

Driving through water more than a few inches/
centimeters deep will require extra caution to en-
sure safety and prevent damage to your vehicle.
CAUTION!
• Due to lower ground clearance, driving your
vehicle up steep driveways, approach ramps
or near parking blocks may cause damage to
the front fascia and ground effects.

CAUTION! (Continued)
• Driving through snow more than 4 inches
(100 mm) deep may cause damage to the
front fascia and ground effects.

Flowing/Rising Water

WARNING!
Do not drive on, or cross, a road or a path
where water is flowing and/or rising (as in
storm run-off). Flowing water can wear away
the road or path's surface and cause your
vehicle to sink into deeper water. Further-
more, flowing and/or rising water can carry
your vehicle away swiftly. Failure to follow
this warning may result in injuries that are
serious or fatal to you, your passengers, and
others around you.

Shallow Standing Water
Although your vehicle is capable of driving
through shallow standing water, consider the
following Caution and Warning before doing so.
CAUTION!
• Always check the depth of the standing
water before driving through it. Never drive
through standing water that is deeper than
the bottom of the tire rims mounted on the
vehicle.
• Determine the condition of the road or the
path that is under water and if there are
any obstacles in the way before driving
through the standing water.
• Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when
driving through standing water. This will
minimize wave effects.
