Although your vehicle is capable of driving through
water, there are a number of precautions that must be
consideredbeforeenteringthewater:
FlowingWater
If the water is swift flowing and rising (as in storm
run-off) avoid crossing until the water level recedes
and/or the flow rate is reduced. If you must cross
flowing water avoid depths in excess of 9 inches. The
flowing water can erode the streambed causing your
vehicletosinkintodeeperwater.Determineexitpoint(s)
that are downstream of your entry point to allow for
drifting.
