If the vehicle is submerged or water on the road is rising
● If the door can be opened, open the door and exit the vehicle. ● If the door can not be opened, open the window using the power
window switch and ensure an escape route. ● If the window can be opened, exit the vehicle through the window. ● If the door and window cannot be opened due to the rising water,
remain calm, wait until the water level inside the vehicle rises to the point that the water pressure inside of the vehicle equals the water pressure outside of the vehicle and then open the door after waiting for the rising water to enter the vehicle, and exit the vehicle. When the outside water level exceeds half the height of the door, the door cannot be opened from the inside due to water pressure.
