Volvo XC60: Driving through water
• The vehicle can be driven through water up to a depth of approximately 10 in. (25 cm), at a maximum speed of 6 mph (10 km/h).
• Take particular care when driving through flowing water.
• Clean the electrical connections for trailer wiring after driving in mud or water.
• When driving through water, maintain low speed and do not stop in the water.
WARNING
After driving through water, press lightly on
the brake pedal to ensure that the brakes
are functioning normally. Water or mud can
make the brake linings slippery, resulting in
delayed braking effect.
CAUTION
• Engine damage will occur if water is
drawn into the air cleaner.
• If the vehicle is driven through water
deeper than 10 in (25 cm), water may
enter the differential and the transmission.
This reduces the oil's lubricating
capacity and may shorten the service
life of these components.
• Do not allow the vehicle to stand in
water up to the door sills longer than
absolutely necessary. This could result
in electrical malfunctions.
• If the engine has been stopped while the
vehicle is in water, do not attempt to
restart it. Have the vehicle towed out of
the water.
