2023 Ford E-350 Driving Through Water

Driving Through Water

If the water is not too deep, and you can see the bottom, then you can drive through it. Drive slowly and steadily through the water. If the water is too deep, or you can‘t see the bottom, then don‘t drive through it.

WARNING: Do not drive through flowing or deep water as you may lose control of your vehicle.

Note: Driving through standing water can cause vehicle damage.
Note: Engine damage can occur if water enters the air filter.
Before driving through standing water, check the depth. Never drive through water that is higher than the bottom of the wheel hub, the below image is the maximum level.

When driving through standing water, drive very slowly and do not stop your vehicle. Your brake performance and traction may be limited. After driving through water and as soon as it is safe to do so:

• Lightly press the brake pedal to dry the brakes and to check that they work.
• Check that the horn works.
• Check that the exterior lights work.
• Turn the steering wheel to check that the steering power assist works.
