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)07/94]

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.

Rocking the vehicle

*

[DR27901(B F )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 engine and transmission,
causing damage to both. In addition, other
vehicle systems and components may also be
damaged.
