mine its depth.

Select gear range 1 on the automatic
transmission (୴ page 187).
It should not be deeper than approxi-
mately 20 inches (50 cm).
Drive downhill observing the same
rules as driving uphill (୴ page 308).
Make sure you check the water bed.
The ground surface may not be firm
which may result in deeper waters than
expected when driving the vehicle
through it.
On steep inclines, use the Downhill
Speed Regulation (୴ page 243).

Drive slowly.
Do not drive at an angle to the incline.
Steer into the line of gravity and drive
with the front wheels pointing straight
downhill. Otherwise, the vehicle may
slide sideways off the path and roll
over.

For vehicles with level control*, raise
