Driving Through Water

Your vehicle can operate through water up to a maximum recommended depth equal to the floorboards.

NOTICE
Immersion can result in major damage if the vehicle isn't serviced correctly and promptly. After immersion, always take the vehicle to your dealer service. Do not start the engine! If it's impossible to bring the vehicle to your dealer before starting the engine, perform the service outlined in the Vehicle Immersion section, and take the vehicle to your dealer at the first opportunity.

Follow these procedures when operating through water:

  1. Determine water depths and current before entering water.

  2. Choose a crossing where both banks have gradual inclines.

  3. Proceed slowly, avoiding rocks and obstacles.

  4. Avoid operating through deep or fast-flowing water.

    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

  5. After leaving water, always dry the brakes by applying light pressure to the pedal repeatedly until braking action is normal.

    NOTE
    After running your vehicle in water, it's critical that you perform the services outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart. Give special attention to engine oil, transmission oil, front and rear gearcases (if equipped), and all grease fittings.
