(
୴ page 214) and rules for off-road
If possible, use the assistance of a sec-
ond person outside the vehicle to scout
the path you intend to take and check
for adequate ground clearance when
you cross obstacles with your vehicle.
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.

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

Switch off the exterior lamps as well as
the climate control.
Select gear range 2 or 1 on the auto-
matic transmission (୴ page 142).
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.
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.
ț
Do not stop vehicle while immersed in
water, and do not shut off the engine.
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.
