Switch off the exterior lamps as well as
the climate control.

To dry the brakes, apply pressure to the
brake pedal several times after leaving
the water.

Obstacles can damage the vehicle
undercarriage or suspension compo-
nents. If possible use the assistance of
a second person outside the vehicle to
scout the path you intend to take and
check for adequate ground clearance
when you cross obstacles with your ve-
hicle. The person assisting you outside
the vehicle should always be a safe dis-
tance away from the vehicle and posi-
tioned so that he or she cannot get hurt
in case of any unexpected vehicle
movement.
Select gear range 1 on the automatic
transmission (୴ page 121).
Crossing obstacles
Enter the water only at a shallow spot,
driving at walking speed.
!
Never accelerate before driving into
the water. The bow wave could force
water into the engine and auxiliary
equipment, thus damaging them.
ț
Do not stop vehicle while immersed in
water, and do not shut off the engine.
After off-road driving or crossing obsta-
cles, inspect vehicle for any damage,
especially vehicle undercarriage and
suspension components. Failure to do
so can adversely affect the vehicle's fu-
ture performance, including increased
chance of an accident.
There is a very high level of driving re-
sistance in water. The surface is slip-
pery and may not be firm, making
pulling away in water difficult and dan-
gerous.
ț
Clean mud off the tire tread after driv-
ing through water.
