DRIVING THROUGH WATER

If driving through deep or standing water is unavoidable, proceed very

slowly especially if the depth is not known. Never drive through water

that is higher than the bottom of the hubs (for trucks) or the bottom of

the wheel rims (for cars). Traction or brake capability may be limited

and your vehicle may stall. Water may also enter your engine’s air intake

and severely damage your engine.

Once through the water, always dry the brakes by moving your vehicle

slowly while applying light pressure on the brake pedal. Wet brakes do

not stop the vehicle as quickly as dry brakes. Driving through deep

water where the transaxle is submerged may allow water into the

transaxle and cause internal damage. Have the fluid checked and,

if water is found, replace the fluid.
