Driving through water
1 20 in (50 cm)
Before driving through water, determine its depth. It
should not be deeper than approximately
20 inches (50 cm).
Switch to LOW RANGE mode before driving through
water.
Switch off the exterior lamps as well as the climate
control.
Enter the water only at a shallow spot. Never take a
running start. Drive slowly, avoiding a bow wave.
Do not stop vehicle immersed in water, and do not shut
off the engine.
To dry the brakes, apply pressure to the brake pedal
several times after leaving the water.
