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.
