limited. Always perform a maintenance inspection after each day
of off-road driving that has taken you through water.

If the water is swift flowing and rising (as in storm run-off) avoid
crossing until the water level recedes and/or the flow rate is
reduced.
The flowing water can erode the streambed causing your vehicle to
sink into deeper water.
Determine the exit point(s) that are downstream of your entry point
to compensate for drifting.

Off-road operation puts more stress on your vehicle than does most
on-road driving. Always perform a maintenance inspection after
each day of off-road driving that has taken you through rough
terrain, sand, mud, or water.

Completely inspect the underbody of the vehicle for any
damages.

plastic These could be a fire hazard. They might damage to fuel
lines, brake tubes/hoses, etc.
• Inspect all the tubes/hoses and check for any fluid leakages.
• Get heat exchangers (radiator and condenser) cleaned.
• Check threaded fasteners for looseness, particularly on the
chassis, drive train components, steering, suspension and
brakes. Visit nearest dealer for under body check and
retorqueing the fasteners.

excessive wear or unpredictable braking. You might not have
full braking power when needed leading to accidents. If you have
been operating the vehicle in off-road conditions, get the brakes
checked and cleaned as necessary.

impacted material. Impacted material can cause a wheel
imbalance. Get it inspected/corrected as soon as possible.
• After driving through deep water, inspect your vehicle fluids and
lubricants (engine oil, transmission/transfer case/axle oils) to
ensure the fluids have not been contaminated.
