How to Drive an Automatic Car Through Deep Water?
1 Answers
When driving an automatic car through deep water, keep the throttle at around 2000 RPM. If waiting in the water, check the water depth. If the water hasn't submerged the exhaust pipe, there's no need to worry. If the water is too deep, maintain the RPM to prevent water from being sucked in. As long as the engine doesn't stall, there's no need for excessive concern. Methods for driving through water: 1. Avoid high speed: Driving too fast can create a high wave in front of the car, increasing resistance and the risk of flooding the engine. 2. Maintain steady throttle: Select a low gear and keep the throttle steady. Choose a low gear before entering the water, avoid shifting gears during the process, and maintain a certain engine RPM to ensure forward momentum and exhaust pressure. 3. Do not attempt to restart: If the engine stalls in the water, unless you're confident the water isn't too deep, never try to restart the engine, as it may already have water inside.
