Vehicles used to traverse water should be
periodically inspected for signs of water
ingestion in all of the vehicle's fluids. If
water is found inside your vehicle fluids,
service your vehicle or see an authorized
dealer.
Avoid Getting High-Centered
Always keep available ground clearance
in mind and pick a route that minimizes the
risk of catching the underside of the vehicle
on an obstacle and getting high-centered.
Freeing A Stuck Vehicle
WARNING: Do not spin the wheels
at over 34 mph (55 km/h). The tires may
fail and injure a passenger or bystander.
Recovery hooks are mounted to the
vehicle's structure and are used to pull out
the vehicle from a surface or location when
stuck. Recover your vehicle using various
towing apparatus attached to your
recovery hook such as winch, open hook,
or strap.
Note: Do not use recovery hooks to
recreationally tow your vehicle. See
Recreationally Towing Your Vehicle (page
469).
Note: Do not rock your vehicle if the engine
is not at normal operating temperature as
damage to the transmission could occur.
Note: Do not rock your vehicle for more
than a minute as damage to the
transmission and tires could occur or the
engine could overheat.
If you are unable to free your vehicle call
roadside assistance. See Roadside
Assistance (page 462).

DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE AT HIGH
SPEEDS - RAPTOR
If you plan on using your vehicle for severe,
high speed off-road use, we recommend
the following:
• Equipping your vehicle with the safety
equipment appropriate for off-road
recovery.
• Using personal safety equipment,
including a certified helmet and
approved neck restraint device.
• Doing a low speed reconnaissance run
in unfamiliar areas to become aware
of any obstacles that you could
encounter.
Your vehicle can incur damage if driven
beyond its capabilities. Skid plates, shock
guards and running boards are designed
to help limit damage to vital components
and exterior finishes, but cannot prevent
all damage if driven in extreme off-road
conditions. Damage to skid plates, shock
guards, running boards and exterior
finishes as well as bent, cracked or broken
body, frame and chassis components may
not be covered by warranty.
