Driving your vehicle
If you believe you may have got -
ten your brakes wet, apply them
lightly while driving until normal
braking operation returns.
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you
are going fast enough, your vehicle
may have little or no contact with
the road surface and actually ride
on the water. The best advice is
SLOW DOWN when the road is wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increases
as the depth of tire tread decreases,
refer to"Tires and wheels" on page
8-5.
Driving in flooded areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no
higher than the bottom of the wheel
hub. Drive through any water
slowly. Allow adequate stopping dis -
tance because brake performance
may be affected.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them
several times while the vehicle is
moving slowly.

Tires
Adjust the tire inflation pressures to
specification. Low tire inflation pres -
sures will result in overheating and
possible failure of the tires.
Avoid using worn or damaged tires
which may result in reduced traction
or tire failure.
Never exceed the maximum tire
inflation pressure shown on the
tires.
WARNING
Under/over inflated tires
Always check the tires for proper
inflation before driving. Underin -
flated or overinflated tires can
cause poor handling, loss of vehicle
control, and sudden tire failure,
leading to accidents, injuries, and
even death. For proper tire pres -
sures, refer to "Tires and wheels" on
page 8-5.
