[DR27675(ALL)06/92]
Never attempt to cross water that is fast flowing or of unknown
depth.

[DR27701(ALL)05/90]
Do not drive through flooded areas unless you are sure that the
water is below the bottom of the wheel hubs.

[DR27750(ALL)04/94]
If you must drive through high water, drive slowly. You may
have limited traction or wet brakes, so allow extra stopping
distance because your vehicle will not stop as quickly as usual.

[DR27801(ALL)01/95]
After you drive through the standing water, apply your brakes
gently several times as your vehicle moves slowly. This helps to
dry the brakes.

repair required.

may rock it out of the spot. Shift in a steady rhythm between
forward and reverse gears. Allow the transmission to fully

vehicle for more than a few minutes. This may overheat the
