OPERATION

Driving Through Water

CAUTION

Major engine damage can result if the vehicle is not thoroughly

inspected after operation in water. Perform the services outlined

in the maintenance chart.
If your vehicle becomes immersed or is operated in water that

exceeds the footrest level, take it to your dealer for service before

starting the engine.

NOTE: Avoid operating the vehicle through deep or fast-flowing

water. If you cannot avoid water that exceeds the

recommended maximum depth, go slowly, balance your

weight carefully, avoid sudden movements, and maintain a

slow and steady forward motion. Do not make sudden turns

or stops, and do not make sudden throttle changes.

If your vehicle becomes immersed, and it’s impossible to take it to a

dealer before starting it, follow the steps described on page 102. Have

the vehicle serviced by your dealer at the first opportunity.
