264 EMERGENCIES WARNING! When attempting to rock your vehicle out of a stuck position, be sure that the area around the vehicle is clear of people. The rocking motion may cause the vehicle to suddenly lurch forward or backward, causing injury to by-standers. On a wet road CAUTION! • Avoid flooded roads. Water depth can be deceptive, 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 temporarily 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.
