Driving through rushing water can be dangerous. Deep water
can sweep your vehicle downstream and you and your
passengers
could
drown.
If
it’s
only inches deep, it can still
wash
away the ground
from
under your tires, and you could lose
traction and roll the vehicle over. Ron’t drive through rushing
water.
After
Off-Road
Driving
Remove any brush or debris that has collected on the underbody, chassis or
under the hood. These accumulations can be a fire hazard.
After operation in mud
or
sand, have the brake linings cleaned and checked.
These substances can cause glazing and uneven braking. Check the body
structure, steering, suspension, wheels, tires, and exhaust system for
damage. Also, check the fuel lines and cooling system for any leakage.
Your vehicle will require more frequent service due to off-road
use.
Refer
to the Maintenance Schedule for additional information.
Driving
at
Night
Night driving
is
more dangerous than day driving. One reason is that some
drivers
are
likely
to
be impaired
-
by alcohol or drugs, with night vision
problems, or by fatigue.
