FORD 2014 E-450 v.2 - Manual (Page 172)

If driving through deep or standing
water is unavoidable, proceed very
slowly. Never drive through water
that is higher than the bottom of
the hubs (for trucks) or the bottom
of the wheel rims (for cars).
Once through the 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.
FLOOR MATS
WARNING: Always use floor mats that are designed to fit the
foot well of your vehicle, leaving the pedal area unobstructed,
and which can be firmly secured to retention posts so that they cannot
slip out of position and interfere with the pedals or impair safe
operation of your vehicle in other ways.
• Incorrectly fitted floor mats can cause the accelerator pedal to become
stuck in the open position. This can cause loss of vehicle control.
• Always correctly install the floor mats to the retention posts so that
they cannot slip out of position or obstruct pedal operation.
• Do not place unsecured floor mats or any other covering in the foot
well.
