Driving In Flooded Area

WARNING
Dry wet brakes by driving very slowly
and applying the brakes lightly until
brake performance returns to normal:
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous.
Increased stopping distance or the
vehicle pulling to one side when
braking could result in a serious
accident. Light braking will indicate
whether the brakes have been affected.

roads as it could cause short
circuiting of electrical/electronic
parts, or engine damage or stalling
from water absorption. If the vehicle

an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Ford Repairer.
After driving in rivers or puddles,
l
bring your vehicle to an expert
repairer, we recommend an

propeller shaft and other parts
greased and inspected.
