• Add particular accessories to your vehicle (e.g.; bug deflectors,

rollbars or light bars, running boards, ski racks).

• Drive with the wheels out of alignment.

DRIVING THROUGH WATER

WARNING: Do not drive through flowing or deep water as you
may lose control of your vehicle.

Note: Driving through standing water can cause vehicle damage.

Note: Engine damage can occur if water enters the air filter.

Before driving through standing water, check the depth. Never drive

through water that is higher than the bottom
of the wheel hubs.

When driving through standing water, drive
very slowly and do not stop your vehicle. Your
brake performance and traction may be
limited. After driving through water and as
soon as it is safe to do so:
• Lightly press the brake pedal to dry the

brakes and to check that they work.

• Check that the horn works.
• Check that the exterior lights work.
• Turn the steering wheel to check that the steering power assist works.

FLOOR MATS

WARNING: Always use floor mats that are designed to fit the
foot well of your vehicle. Only use floor mats that leave the pedal

area unobstructed. Only use floor mats that are firmly secured to
retention posts so that they cannot slip out of position and interfere
with the pedals or impair safe operation of your vehicle in other ways.

WARNING: Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss of
vehicle control and increase the risk of serious personal injury.
