Flowing/Rising Water

WARNING!

Do not drive on, or cross, a road or a path where
water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm run-off).
Flowing water can wear away the road or path’s
surface and cause your vehicle to sink into deeper
water. Furthermore, flowing and/or rising water can
carry your vehicle away swiftly. Failure to follow this
warning may result in injuries that are serious or
fatal to you, your passengers, and others around you.

Shallow Standing Water
Although your vehicle is capable of driving through

shallow standing water, consider the following Caution

and Warning before doing so.

CAUTION!

Always check the depth of the standing water

before driving through it. Never drive through
standing water that is deeper than the bottom of
the tire rims mounted on the vehicle.

Determine the condition of the road or the path

that is under water, and if there are any obstacles
in the way, before driving through the standing
water.

Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when driving

through standing water. This will minimize wave
effects.
