Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.

~~
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 ~r standing water, drive
through them very ~llowlgr.
e Besides slowing down, allow some extra following
distance.
And be especially careful when you pass
another vehicle. Allow yourself more
clear room
ahead, and be prepared
to have your view restricted
by road spray.
