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 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 cannot avoid deep

puddles or standing water, drive through them

very slowly.
