Driving in Flooded Areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas unless you are
sure the water is no higher than the bottom of the
wheel hub. Drive through any water slowly. Allow
adequate stopping distance because brake
performance may be affected.
After driving through water, dry the brakes by
gently applying them several times while the
vehicle is moving slowly.
Driving Tips
WARNING - Tire Chains
• The use of chains may adversely affect
vehicle handling.
• Do not exceed 20 mph (30 km/h) or the
chain manufacturer’s recommended speed
limit, whichever is lower.
• Drive carefully and avoid bumps, holes,
sharp turns, and other road hazards, which
may cause the vehicle to bounce.
• Avoid sharp turns or locked-wheel braking.
• Do not attempt to use a tire chain on the
compact spare tire because it may impair
vehicle handling and result in damage to
the vehicle and to the tire.
• Chains that are the wrong size or
improperly installed can damage your
vehicle’s brake lines, suspension, body
and wheels.
• Stop driving and retighten the chains any
time you hear them hitting the vehicle.
