Driving Through Water
Your vehicle can operate through water with a maximum recommended depth equal to floor level. Follow these precautions when operating through water:
-
Determine the water depth and current before entering the water.
-
Choose a crossing where the water level is lowest and where both banks have gradual inclines. Never operate in water that exceeds the maximum recommended depth (floor level) 1.
WARNINGThe large tires on your vehicle may cause the vehicle to float in deep or fast-flowing water, which could result in loss of traction, loss of control, rollover or accident. -
Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. After leaving water, test the brakes. Apply them lightly several times while driving slowly. The friction will help dry out the pads. Avoid applying brake and throttle at the same time.
If your vehicle becomes immersed or is operated in water that exceeds the floor level, service is required before starting the engine. Your POLARIS dealer or qualified person can provide this service. If it's impossible to bring the vehicle in before starting the engine, perform the service outlined in the Vehicle Immersion section, and take the vehicle in for service at the first opportunity.
