Driving in Flooded Areas

Avoid driving through flooded areas unless you are sure the water is not higher than the bottom of the wheel hub. Drive slowly through any water. Allow an adequate braking distance, as brake effectiveness may be reduced. After driving through water, dry the brakes by lightly applying them several times while the vehicle moves slowly.

Off-Road Driving

Drive carefully off-road, because your vehicle may be damaged by rocks or tree roots. Learn the off-road conditions where you plan to drive before you start driving.
