Avoid excessive speed because vehicle momentum can work against you and cause the vehicle to become stuck to the point that assistance may be required from another vehicle. Remember, you may be able to back out the way you came if you proceed with caution. If your vehicle is equipped with AdvanceTrac௡ with RSC, press the AdvanceTrac௡ with RSC button (refer to AdvanceTrac௡ with Roll Stability Control (RSC) Stability Enhancement System in this chapter) while driving in deep sand if you experience excessive engine power reduction. Mud and water If you must drive through high water, drive slowly. Traction or brake capability may be limited. When driving through water, determine the depth; avoid water higher than the bottom of the hubs (if possible) and proceed slowly. If the ignition system gets wet, the vehicle may stall.

Even four-wheel drive vehicles can lose traction in slick mud. As when you are driving over sand, apply the accelerator slowly and avoid spinning your wheels. If the vehicle does slide, steer in the direction of the slide until you regain control of the vehicle. 249 2011 Navigator (nav) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus)

clunk and ratcheting sounds. This is the front drivetrain coming up to

Note:

If air is released from your tires, the Tire Pressure Monitoring

System (TPMS) indicator light may illuminate.

Avoid excessive speed because vehicle momentum can work against you

and cause the vehicle to become stuck to the point that assistance may

be required from another vehicle. Remember, you may be able to back

out the way you came if you proceed with caution.

If your vehicle is equipped with AdvanceTrac

with RSC, press the

AdvanceTrac

with RSC button (refer to

AdvanceTrac

with Roll Stability

Control (RSC) Stability Enhancement System

in this chapter) while

driving in deep sand if you experience excessive engine power reduction.

Mud and water

If you must drive through high

water, drive slowly. Traction or

brake capability may be limited.

When driving through water,

determine the depth; avoid water

higher than the bottom of the hubs

(if possible) and proceed slowly. If

the ignition system gets wet, the

vehicle may stall.

Once through water, always try the

brakes. Wet brakes do not stop the vehicle as effectively as dry brakes.

Drying can be improved by moving your vehicle slowly while applying

light pressure on the brake pedal.

Be cautious of sudden changes in vehicle speed or direction when you

are driving in mud. Even four–wheel drive vehicles can lose traction in

slick mud. As when you are driving over sand, apply the accelerator

slowly and avoid spinning your wheels. If the vehicle does slide, steer in

the direction of the slide until you regain control of the vehicle.
