First off, know what the lowest point of water entry is. Usually, this is thru the top hole of the dipstick or through the transmission breather (basically a metal or rubber hose that sticks out of the transmission). On a Nissan Sentra, the breather extends up to the engine compartment so its a non-issue. On some vehicles, it's nothing more than a straw sticking out of the transmission body.

As with any transmission type, maintain a slow and steady speed when crossing. Avoid a very tall 'bow wave' or water crest in front of the vehicle.

Do not stop midstream.

Avoid crossing water by driving 'upstream' (driving the opposite direction the water is going) to it. It's easier to drive 'downstream' or just perpendicular (across) to the flow.

Use the lowest available gear.

Dry brakes upon reaching other end by lightly stepping on brake pedal with left foot as you drive along.
