Driving Through Water
Your vehicle can operate through water up to a maximum recommended depth equal to the floorboards1.
NOTICE
Serious damage can occur to the electrical system
and batteries if the vehicle is operated in water deeper than the
floorboards.
Follow these procedures when operating through water:
-
Determine water depths and current before entering water.
-
Choose a crossing where both banks have gradual inclines.
-
Proceed slowly, avoiding rocks and obstacles.
-
Avoid operating through deep or fast-flowing water.
-
After leaving water, always dry the brakes by applying light pressure to the pedal repeatedly until braking action is normal.
WARNING
The large tires on your vehicle may cause the
vehicle to float in deep or fast-flowing water, which could result
in loss of control and lead to serious injury or death. Never cross
deep or fast-flowing water with your vehicle
