Hyundai Tucson: Special driving conditions / Driving in the rain

Rain and wet roads can make driving dangerous. Here are a few things to consider
when driving in the rain or on slick pavement:
- Slow down and allow extra following distance. A heavy rainfall makes it
harder to see and increases the distance needed to stop your vehicle.
- Turn OFF your Cruise Control.
- Replace your windshield wiper blades when they show signs of streaking or
missing areas on the windshield.
- Be sure your tires have enough tread. If your tires do not have enough tread,
making a quick stop on wet pavement can cause a skid and possibly lead to an
accident.
- Turn on your headlights to make it easier for others to see you.
- Driving too fast through large puddles can affect your brakes. If you must
go through puddles, try to drive through them slowly.
- If you believe your brakes may be wet, apply them lightly while driving
until normal braking operation returns.
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are going fast enough, your vehicle may have
little or no contact with the road surface and actually ride on the water. The best
advice is SLOW DOWN when the road is wet. The risk of hydroplaning increases as
the depth of tire tread decreases
