If your car is flood damaged.

Depending on the level of water which affected your vehicle the following precautions should be taken:

• If the level of flooding has entered the passenger compartments (wet carpets) and the vehicle is fitted with an airbag, do not turn the ignition on. It is important to have the vehicle professionally examined (there is a risk of airbag deployment from water in the electrical system).
• If the vehicle is not fitted with airbags, there may still be a risk of electrical short circuit which can cause further damage to your vehicle. Again, do not turn the ignition on and have the vehicle professionally examined.
• For vehicles where flooding has not entered the passenger area (dry carpets) the braking system of your vehicle may have been affected.
• If the vehicle has been stood in the flooded area for any prolonged period contact your local dealer for further advice.
• If the vehicle has only been in a flood for a short period, drive with extreme caution and take the car to be checked at the earliest opportunity.
