Driving instructions

앫 Before driving through water, deter-

mine its depth.

앫 Vehicles with air suspension program*:

Select the highest vehicle level

possible (

컄 page 255).

앫 Switch to off-road driving program

(

컄 page 253) before driving through

water.

앫 Shift automatic transmission to

position 1 or 2 (

컄 page 192).

앫 Avoid high engine speeds.

앫 Enter and leave the water only at a

shallow spot, driving at walking speed.

앫 Drive through the water slowly and at a

constant speed.

앫 Do not stop vehicle while immersed in

water, and do not shut off the engine.

앫 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.

앫 Make sure that only small bow waves

are formed when driving the vehicle

through water.

앫 Clean mud off the tire tread after driv-

ing through water.

앫 To dry the brakes, apply pressure to the

brake pedal several times while driving

after leaving the water.

Crossing obstacles

The water depth must not exceed the

respective value listed in the table. The ground

under the water might not be firm which could

result the water being deeper than expected

when driving the vehicle through it. Please note

that the water level is correspondingly lower for

flowing water.

Never accelerate before driving into the

water. The bow wave could force water into the

engine and auxiliary equipment, thus damaging

them.

Do not open any of the vehicle’s doors while

driving through water. Water could otherwise en-

ter the vehicle interior and damage the vehicle’s

electronics, as well as the interior equipment.

Obstacles can damage the vehicle

underbody or suspension components. If possi-

ble use the assistance of a second person out-

side 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 distance away from the vehicle

and positioned so that he or she cannot get hurt

in case of any unexpected vehicle movement.

After off-road driving or crossing obstacles, in-

spect vehicle for any damage, especially vehicle

underbody and suspension components. Failure

to do so can adversely affect the vehicle’s future

performance, including increased chance of an

accident.
