Shallow Standing Water
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 wa-
ter. This will minimize wave ef-
fects.
• Driving through standing water
may cause damage to your vehi-
cle’s drivetrain components. Al-
ways 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 ap-
pears 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 inter-
nal 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 capa-
bilities. Do not exceed 5 mph
(8 km/h) when driving through
standing water.
