How to Drive Through Flooded Roads Safely?
1 Answers
When driving through flooded roads, you should engage a high gear and pass through quickly. Below are relevant introductions about vehicle wading: 1. Introduction to Vehicle Wading: Vehicle wading, as the name suggests, refers to driving a vehicle on low-lying, waterlogged roads, passing through water. It generally occurs during rainy weather in low-lying areas where poor drainage leads to water accumulation on the road. 2. Precautions for Vehicle Wading: Before wading, observe the road conditions carefully. While in the water, maintain steady power. After wading, check the electrical system. If a car stalls in the water, the main reason is usually water entering the exhaust pipe, though in some cases, electrical damage may also occur. Once a car stalls, do not attempt to restart it, as this may cause water to enter the intake manifold and damage the valves, potentially leading to severe engine damage. Instead, the car should be towed to a 4S shop immediately for professional handling.
