STARTING AND OPERATING 267 CAUTION! • Due to lower ground clearance, driving your vehicle up steep driveways, approach ramps or near parking blocks may cause damage to the front fascia and ground effects. • Driving through snow more than 4 inches (100 mm) deep may cause damage to the front fascia and ground effects. Flowing/Rising Water WARNING! Do not drive on, or cross, a road or a path where water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm run-off). Flowing water can wear away the road or path's surface and cause your vehicle to sink into deeper water. Furthermore, flowing and/or rising water can carry your vehicle away swiftly. Failure to follow this warning may result in injuries that are serious or fatal to you, your passengers, and others around you. Shallow Standing Water Although your vehicle is capable of driving through shallow standing water, consider the following Caution and Warning before doing so. 5
