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 are going fast enough. When your

vehicle is hydroplaning, it has little or no contact

with the road.

Hydroplaning does not 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 is not 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 the engine’s air intake

and badly damage the engine. Never drive

through water that is slightly lower than

the underbody of your vehicle. If you cannot

avoid deep puddles or standing water,

drive through them very slowly.
