Water
If you must cross shallow, slow-moving water up to
the depth of the vehicle's floorboards, choose your
path carefully to avoid sharp drop-offs, large rocks,
or slippery surfaces that could cause the vehicle to
overturn. Never operate through water deeper
than 33 cm (13 in) or fast-flowing water. Choose a
path where both your entrance into and exit point
from the water is a gradual incline. Determine the
water depth and currents before crossing.
Operating this vehicle through deep or fast-flowing
water can lead to loss of control or overturn. To re-
duce your risk of drowning or other injuries, use
care when crossing through water.
Wet brakes may have reduced effectiveness. After
leaving the water, test your brakes. If necessary,
apply the brakes several times to let friction dry out
the linings.
