Driving on flooded roads

WARNING

Do not drive your vehicle through flowing water or deep water as you may lose control of it.

Note: Driving through standing water can damage your vehicle. Note: If water enters the air filter, the engine may be damaged.

Check the depth before driving through standing water. Never drive through water that rises higher than the lower edge of the front body panels of your vehicle.

When driving through standing water, drive very slowly and do not stop your vehicle. Your traction and braking capability may be reduced. After driving through water, and as soon as it is safe to do so:

• Gently press the brake pedal to dry the brakes and check that they work.
• Check that the horn works.
• Check that the exterior lights work.
• Turn the steering wheel to make sure the power steering works.
