Can the sunroof be opened if the car falls into water?
1 Answers
No, it cannot be opened. The water pressure is too high at this time. The methods for self-rescue when a vehicle falls into water are as follows: Try to escape from the rear seats: During the process of the car sinking, the heavier front end will submerge first, causing the air inside the vehicle to concentrate in the rear part of the cabin. Therefore, you should try to escape from the rear seats. Stay as close to the top of the car as possible: If the doors and windows cannot be opened, position yourself as close to the top of the car as possible. Wait for water to flood the interior until the internal and external water pressure equalizes, then the door can be opened. Before the vehicle is completely submerged, escaping through the sunroof is the best option. Use a sharp tool to break the window: Use a pointed hammer, high heels, car locks, or other sharp objects to forcefully break the side windows. When the windshield is penetrated or the side windows shatter, glass fragments may be washed into the car by the water, so be careful to avoid cuts.
