Flowing/Rising Water

DRIVING TIPS

DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURFACES

WARNING!

Do not drive on or across a road or 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

11. Release the parking brake.

Acceleration

12. Shift the transmission into DRIVE, release the brake

pedal, and check that the vehicle operates normally.

Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other slippery

surfaces may cause the driving wheels to pull erratically to

the right or left. This phenomenon occurs when there is a

difference in the surface traction under the rear (driving)

wheels.

NOTE:

 Steps 3 and 4 are requirements that must be met

before pushing the button to shift out of N (Neutral),

and must continue to be met until the shift has been

completed. If any of these requirements are not met

before pushing the button or are no longer met during

the shift, the N (Neutral) indicator light will flash contin-

uously until all requirements are met or until the button

is released.

passengers, and others around you.

WARNING!

Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is dangerous.

Unequal traction can cause sudden pulling of the rear

wheels. You could lose control of the vehicle and

possibly have a collision. Accelerate slowly and

carefully whenever there is likely to be poor traction

(ice, snow, wet, mud, loose sand, etc.).

Shallow Standing Water

Although your vehicle is capable of driving through shallow

standing water, consider the following Cautions and

Warnings before doing so.

 The ignition must be in the ON/RUN mode for a shift to

take place and for the position indicator lights to be

operable. If the ignition is not in the ON/RUN mode, the

shift will not take place and no position indicator lights

will be on or flashing.

WARNING!

 Driving through standing water limits your vehicle’s

traction capabilities. Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h)

when driving through standing water.

DRIVING THROUGH WATER

Driving through water more than a few inches/

centimeters deep will require extra caution to ensure

safety and prevent damage to your vehicle.

 A flashing N (Neutral) position indicator light indicates

that shift requirements have not been met.

 Driving through standing water limits your vehicle’s

braking capabilities, which increases stopping

distances. Therefore, after driving through standing

water, drive slowly and lightly press on the brake

pedal several times to dry the brakes.

 Failure to follow these warnings may result in injuries

that are serious or fatal to you, your passengers, and

others around you.

190 STARTING AND OPERATING

CAUTION!

 Check threaded fasteners for looseness, particularly

on the chassis, drivetrain components, steering, and

suspension. Retighten them, if required, and torque to

the values specified in the Service Manual.

OFF-ROAD DRIVING TIPS

Care should be taken when attempting to climb steep hills

or driving diagonally across a hill or slope. If natural

obstacles force you to travel diagonally up or down a hill,

choose a mild angle and keep as little side tilt as possible.

Keep the vehicle moving and make turns slowly and

cautiously.

 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.

 Check for accumulations of plants or brush. These

things could be a fire hazard. They might hide damage

to fuel lines, brake hoses, axle pinion seals, and

propeller shafts.

 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.

If you must back down a hill, back straight down using

REVERSE gear. Never back down in NEUTRAL or diagonally

across the hill.

 After extended operation in mud, sand, water, or

similar dirty conditions, have the radiator, fan, brake

rotors, wheels, brake linings, and axle yokes inspected

and cleaned as soon as possible.

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

standing water. This will minimize wave effects.

When driving over sand, mud, and other soft terrain, shift

to low gear and drive steadily. Apply the accelerator slowly

to avoid spinning the wheels.

 Driving through standing water may cause damage

to your vehicle’s drivetrain components. Always

inspect your vehicle’s fluids (i.e., engine oil, transmis-

sion, axle, etc.) for signs of contamination (i.e., fluid

that is milky or foamy in appearance) after driving

through standing water. Do not continue to operate

the vehicle if any fluid appears contaminated, as this

may result in further damage. Such damage is not

covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

WARNING!

Do not reduce the tire pressures for this type of driving.

Abrasive material in any part of the brakes may cause

excessive wear or unpredictable braking. You might not

have full braking power when you need it to prevent a

collision. If you have been operating your vehicle in dirty

conditions, get your brakes checked and cleaned as

necessary.

After Driving Off-Road

Off-road operation puts more stress on your vehicle than

does most on-road driving. After going off-road, it is always

a good idea to check for damage. That way you can get any

problems taken care of right away and have your vehicle

ready when you need it.

 Getting water inside your vehicle’s engine can cause

it to lock up and stall out, and cause serious internal

damage to the engine. Such damage is not covered

by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

 If you experience unusual vibration after driving in

mud, slush or similar conditions, check the wheels for

impacted material. Impacted material can cause a

wheel imbalance and freeing the wheels of it will

correct the situation.

 Completely inspect the underbody of your vehicle.

Check tires, body structure, steering, suspension, and

exhaust system for damage.

 Inspect the radiator for mud and debris and clean as

required.
