Does a small amount of water entering the car through an open window during rain affect the vehicle?
1 Answers
If only a small amount of water has entered, it indicates minimal impact. However, as a precaution, it's best not to turn on any electronic devices inside the car, such as lights or starting the vehicle, to prevent short circuits in the electronic equipment due to water exposure. Below is relevant information about water entering a vehicle: 1. Impact: Generally, if a vehicle stalls in water, there's a 50% chance of engine damage. However, if the engine is restarted after stalling, it will certainly be ruined. 2. Precautions: Whether driving or parked in a residential area, underground garage, or street, never restart the engine after stalling in water. When encountering road water accumulation, first reduce speed and assess the water level. If the water reaches two-thirds of the tire height, driving through it poses certain risks, and it's advisable not to force passage.
