Driving Through Deep Standing Water

Notice: If you drive too quickly through deep

puddles or standing water, water can come in

through your engine’s air intake and badly

damage your engine. Never drive through water

that is slightly lower than the underbody of your

vehicle. If you cannot avoid deep puddles or

standing water, drive through them very slowly.

Driving Through Flowing Water

{CAUTION:

Flowing or rushing water creates strong

forces. If you try to drive through ﬂowing

water, as you might at a low water

crossing, your vehicle can be carried away.

As little as six inches of ﬂowing water can

carry away a smaller vehicle. If this

happens, you and other vehicle occupants

could drown. Do not ignore police warning

signs, and otherwise be very cautious

about trying to drive through ﬂowing water.

Some Other Rainy Weather Tips

• Besides slowing down, allow some extra

following distance. And be especially

careful when you pass another vehicle.

Allow yourself more clear room ahead, and

be prepared to have your view restricted

by road spray.

• Have good tires with proper tread depth.

See Tires on page 342.
