CAUTION!
●
Engine damage will occur if water is drawn into the air cleaner.
●
If the vehicle is driven through water deeper than 9 in (25 cm), water may enter the differential and
the transmission. This reduces the oil's lubricating capacity and may shorten the service life of these
components.
●
Do not allow the vehicle to stand in water up to the door sills longer than absolutely necessary.
This could result in electrical malfunctions.
●
If the engine has been stopped while the car is in water, do not attempt to restart the engine. Have
the car towed out of the water.
