How to Drive Through Waterlogged Roads?
1 Answers
Here are some tips for driving through waterlogged road sections: 1. Pay attention to observing the water depth: If the water depth exceeds the vehicle's maximum wading depth, the following preparations should be made before wading: close the radiator shutters, remove the fan belt, and wrap the distributor and high-voltage wires with plastic sheeting. Also, observe the route and speed of the vehicle ahead to estimate the water depth and determine whether your vehicle can pass through. 2. Engage low gear and drive slowly when entering the water: Avoid rushing into the water and soaking the engine parts. Keep the steering wheel steady while driving, and do not shift gears or stop. 3. After driving through the water: Immediately remove the wrapping from the electrical parts, dry the wet areas, and reinstall the fan belt. After continuing on the road, avoid driving at high speeds. If the vehicle has been submerged, the owner should send it to a repair shop as soon as possible.
