And never when the water is moving, or you'll be swept away like the gung-ho but silly lad in the NZ video. Do a U or park the car and wait.If there's absolutely no choice, put it in manual mode, keep it in 1st gear, and keep the revs high and exhaust blowing out hard as you motor through. That keeps your engine from stalling because of resistance in higher gear or water blocking the exhaust pipe. That's also why you shouldn't brake, because then you're taking your foot off the gas and you may stall. There's no hope then - just take off your shoes, and wade out <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
