CAUTION:

Wet brakes can cause accidents. They won’t work

as well in a quick stop and may cause pulling to

one side. You could lose control of the vehicle.

After driving through a large puddle of water or

a car wash, apply your brake pedal lightly until

your brakes work normally.

Hydroplaning

Hydroplaning is dangerous. So much water can build up

under your tires that they can actually ride on the water.

This can happen if the road is wet enough and you’re

going fast enough. When your vehicle is hydroplaning,

it has little or no contact with the road.

Hydroplaning doesn’t happen often. But it can if your

tires do not have much tread or if the pressure in one or

more is low. It can happen if a lot of water is standing on

the road. If you can see reflections from trees, telephone

poles or other vehicles, and raindrops “dimple” the

water’s surface, there could be hydroplaning.

Hydroplaning usually happens at higher speeds. There

just isn’t a hard and fast rule about hydroplaning. The

best advice is to slow down when it is raining.

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

can’t avoid deep puddles or standing water, drive

through them very slowly.
