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.
• Driving through standing water may cause damage to your vehicle’s drivetrain components.
Always inspect your vehicle’s fluids (i.e., engine oil, transmission, axle, etc.)
for signs of contamination (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.
WARNING!
• Driving through standing water limits your vehicle’s traction capabilities.
Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when driving through standing water.
• Driving through standing water limits your vehicle’s braking capabilities, which
increases stopping distances. Therefore, after driving through standing water, drive
slowly and lightly press on the brake pedal several times to dry the brakes.
• Getting water inside your vehicle’s engine can cause it to lock up and stall out,
and leave you stranded.
• Failure to follow these warnings may result in injuries that are serious or fatal
to you, your passengers, and others around you.
