* [DR27601(ALL)05/95] RWARNING
To avoid injury, never run the engine with one wheel off
the ground, such as when changing a tire.
% * [DR27651(ALL)01/95] High water
* [DR27675(ALL)06/92] Never attempt to cross water that is fast flowing or of unknown
depth.
* [DR27701(ALL)05/90] Do not drive through flooded areas unless you are sure that the
water is below the bottom of the wheel hubs.
* [DR27750(ALL)04/94] If you must drive through high water, drive slowly. You may
have limited traction or wet brakes, so allow extra stopping
distance because your vehicle will not stop as quickly as usual.
* [DR27801(ALL)01/95] After you drive through the standing water, apply your brakes
gently several times as your vehicle moves slowly. This helps to
dry the brakes.
* [DR27820(ALL)06/95] NOTE: If the transmission and transfer case is submerged in
water, their fluids should be checked and changed, if
necessary.
* [DR27825(ALL)03/93] NOTE: All rear axle lube quantities must be replaced every
100,000 miles (160,000 km) or if the axle has been
submerged in water. Otherwise, the lube should not
be checked or changed unless a leak is suspected or
repair required.

* [DR27901(ALL)05/90] For 4x4 vehicles, engage 4WD LOW, when the vehicle gets
stuck and try to drive away.
* [DR27950(ALL)05/95] If your vehicle gets stuck (for example, in mud or snow), you
may rock it out of the spot. Shift in a steady rhythm between
forward and reverse gears. Allow the transmission to fully
engage, then press lightly on the accelerator. Do not rock the
vehicle for more than a few minutes. This may overheat the
