Found on the net...
A lot of people drowned simply because they didn't know:
If you find yourself underwater in a car, don't panic.
2. Do not open the window, the force of the water entering the car will not allow you to get out
3. Take out the head rest
4. Use the steel sharp tip and break the back window that has kick out glass on it. (I did not know this)
The car by engineering and design is intended to float in the water and the rear window will always be facing the exit.
This could save your life.Also, more info. I haven't tried all these links. Proceed with caution...

Thanks for the other search engines - some of which I know.
I wonder how much time you have after your car enters the water... removing the headrest and crawling into the back to break the window wouldn't be instantaneous.
I'll leave all those links alone but I will try to remember the car underwater thing.
Why do they all link through facebook?
the back window is made with 'kick out' glass? Never heard this one before!
Good stuff, Mike. Thanks for sharing. I had no idea about the rear window in the care but it makes sense. Hope I never have to find out.
0.5 Always apply the parking brake!
I use duckduckgo a lot - it's pretty good
Thanks for the post filled with useful information
Glub!
I use duck, duck go on my phone and firefox on my computer. I don't want google any where near me now.
Unfortunately, Google still has a better search engine when you really want to find something.
