Starting and Operating Instructions<br />

Driving in Water<br />

Heavy rain can mean flash flooding,<br />

and flood waters demand<br />

extreme caution.<br />

Find out how deep the water is<br />

before you drive through it. If it’s<br />

deep enough to cover your wheel<br />

hubs, axles or exhaust pipe, don’t<br />

drive through it. Also, water that is<br />

deep can damage your axle and<br />

other vehicle parts.<br />

If the water isn’t too deep, then<br />

drive through it slowly. At fast<br />

speeds, water splashes on your<br />

ignition system and your vehicle<br />

can stall. Stalling can also occur if<br />

you get your tailpipe under water.<br />

And, as long as your tailpipe is<br />

under water, you’ll never be able<br />

to start your engine. When you go<br />

through water, remember that<br />

when your brakes get wet, it may<br />

take you longer to stop.<br />

CAUTION<br />

Driving through rushing water<br />

can be dangerous. Deep water<br />

can sweep your vehicle<br />

downstream and you and your<br />

passengers could drown. If it's<br />

only shallow water; it can still<br />

wash away the ground from<br />

under your tires, and you could<br />

lose traction and roll the vehicle<br />

over. Don't drive through<br />

rushing water.<br />

■ VEHICLE PARKING<br />

CAUTION<br />

Avoid leaving your vehicle while<br />

the engine is running.<br />

If you are not in an idling<br />

vehicle, the engine could<br />

overheat and even catch fire.<br />

You or others could be injured.<br />

Do not let the engine run when<br />

you are not in the vehicle.<br />
