Water Fording Level

Operating through deep or fast-flowing water can cause loss of traction, loss of control, overturning, or being swept away in water. You can be seriously injured or killed from entrapment and drowning. Never operate the vehicle in fast-flowing water or in water that exceeds the specification below. Avoid sharp drop-offs and large rocks. Choose a path that provides an entrance and exit point with gradual inclines. 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.
