Avoid excessive speed because vehicle momentum can work against you

and cause the vehicle to become stuck to the point that assistance may

be required from another vehicle. Remember, you may be able to back

out the way you came if you proceed with caution.

Mud and water

If you must drive through high water, drive slowly. Traction or brake

capability may be limited.

When driving through water, determine the depth; avoid water higher

than the bottom of the wheel rims (if possible) and proceed slowly. If the

ignition system gets wet, the vehicle may stall.

Once through water, always try the brakes. Wet brakes do not stop the

vehicle as effectively as dry brakes. Drying can be improved by moving

your vehicle slowly while applying light pressure on the brake pedal.

Be cautious of sudden changes in vehicle speed or direction when you

are driving in mud. Even AWD vehicles can lose traction in slick mud. As

when you are driving over sand, apply the accelerator slowly and avoid

spinning your wheels. If the vehicle does slide, steer in the direction of

the slide until you regain control of the vehicle.

If the engine, transmission, AWD system components or axles are

submerged in water, their fluids should be checked and changed, if

necessary.

Driving through deep water may damage the engine or

transmission.

If the front or rear axle is submerged in water, the axle lubricant and

PTU (Power Transfer Unit) lubricant should be checked and changed if

necessary.

After driving through mud, clean off residue stuck to rotating driveshafts

and tires. Excess mud stuck on tires and rotating driveshafts causes an

imbalance that could damage drive components.

Driving on hilly or sloping terrain

Although natural obstacles may make it necessary to travel diagonally up

or down a hill or steep incline, you should always try to drive straight up
