After a car has been submerged in water and the water recedes, it should not be started. Here are the specific details: 1. Reasons: If a car has been submerged in water, attempting to start it can cause significant damage. After submersion, water may have entered the engine and other components. Starting the engine in this condition can cause severe damage, potentially leading to complete engine failure. In such cases, it is necessary to call a tow truck to transport the vehicle to a repair shop for a thorough inspection of the damage. 2. Insurance Claims: If the vehicle is covered by flood insurance, the insurance company will provide compensation after the vehicle has been submerged. Without flood insurance, the owner must bear the repair costs themselves. Mandatory insurance and some commercial insurance policies do not cover any damages caused by water submersion.
