CAUTION!

Do not drive in 4WD-LOW Range on dry pavement;
driveline damage may result. 4WD-LOW Range
locks front and rear drivelines together and does not
allow for differential action between the front to rear
driveshafts. Driving in 4WD-LOW on pavement will
cause driveline binding; use only on wet or slippery
surfaces.

Driving Through Water

Although your vehicle is capable of driving through

water, there are a number of precautions that must be

considered before entering the water.

CAUTION!

When driving through water, do not exceed 5 mph
(8 km/h). Always check water depth before entering,
as a precaution, and check all fluids afterward. Driv-
ing through water may cause damage that may not be
covered by the new vehicle limited warranty.

Driving through water more than a few inches/

centimeters deep will require extra caution to ensure

safety and prevent damage to your vehicle. If you must

drive through water, try to determine the depth and the

bottom condition (and location of any obstacles) prior to

entering. Proceed with caution and maintain a steady

controlled speed less than 5 mph (8 km/h) in deep water

to minimize wave effects.
