What action should be taken immediately if your vehicle is floating on water?

When a vehicle is floating on water, the priority is to escape the situation as quickly as possible. The vehicle can rapidly become submerged, and remaining inside increases the risk of drowning. Time is of the essence because as the vehicle fills with water, it will become harder to exit.

Attempting to open the door (the third option) may be counterproductive, as the pressure of the water outside can make it difficult or even impossible to open while the vehicle is still floating. Additionally, waiting for rescue or calling for help would delay immediate escape and could lead to life-threatening consequences if the vehicle sinks. Thus, the best course of action is to get out of the vehicle before it fully submerges.
