DRIVING THROUGH WATER
Do not drive quickly through standing water, especially
if the depth is unknown. Traction or brake capability
may be limited and if the ignition system gets wet,
your engine may stall. Water may also enter your
engine’s air intake and severely damage your engine.
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.
Driving through deep water where the
transmission vent tube is submerged may allow
water into the transmission and cause internal
transmission damage.

following terms:
