On a wet road

CAUTION!
• Avoid flooded roads. Water depth can be decep-
tive, and you could be seriously hurt by driving
into flood water.
• When driving in rain, on water-covered roads, or
through a vehicle wash, water could enter the
brake drum linings or discs, resulting in tempo-
rarily ineffective brakes. In such cases, lightly
depress the brake pedal to see if the brakes
operate properly. If they do not, lightly depress
the pedal several times while driving in order to
dry the brake pads or linings, then check them
again.
