PERATION
When driving through water, follow this procedure:
1.
Determine the depth of water and strength of cur-
rent before entering the water.
2.
Choose a crossing where both banks have grad-
ual inclines.
3.
Proceed slowly. Avoid rocks and other obstacles.
4.
Avoid driving through water that exceeds the
height of the floorboard.
5.
Avoid water with a fast-flowing current.
Deep or fast-flowing water can cause loss of vehicle control and lead to possible injury
or death. Never cross water that is deeper than the bottom of the floorboard.
6.
After leaving the water, dry the brakes by applying light pressure to the pedal repeatedly until braking action is
normal.

NANCE CHART on page 46 be performed. Pay particular attention to engine oil, front and rear differ-
ential and all grease fittings.
