Can the car window be opened when the car falls into water?

No, the water pressure is too great at this time. Four major self-rescue measures when a car falls into water: 1. Abandon the car as early as possible: Upon discovering danger, open the window as soon as possible, and abandon the car when necessary—life is most important. 2. Open the door first if submerged: If the car falls into water, try to open the door first; otherwise, you can only wait until the car is filled with water and the internal and external water pressure equalizes before opening the door. 3. Use sharp objects to break the window: If the door cannot be opened, break the window as soon as possible. Self-rescue tools like hammers, steering wheel locks, or high heels can be used to break the window. 4. Hold your breath and wait for pressure balance to escape: If breaking the window is not possible, stay calm, hold your breath, and wait for the car to fill with water until the internal and external pressures equalize before opening the door to escape. Additional tips: 1. Never restart the car after it has been submerged. 2. Under normal circumstances, do not open the car door; call for rescue immediately.
