How to Maintain Low-Speed Driving After a Vehicle Has Waded Through Water?
1 Answers
After a vehicle has waded through water, dry the water-soaked parts, maintain low-speed driving, and intermittently lightly press the brake pedal to restore braking effectiveness. Below is relevant information about vehicle wading: Vehicle Wading Insurance: According to insurance clauses, wading insurance mainly applies in two scenarios: when a motor vehicle is submerged up to the exhaust pipe or intake pipe due to heavy rain or flooding, and the driver continues to start the vehicle or starts it using inertia; or when the vehicle is started without necessary treatment after being exposed to heavy rain or flooding. In these two cases, the damages incurred can be compensated by the wading insurance. Precautions After Wading: Immediately remove any explosive materials from the electrical components, dry the wet parts, and reinstall the fan belt. Check each gearbox for water immersion, ensure there are no obstructions between the radiator fins of the water tank, inspect the tires for damage, and check for any water weeds entangled under the chassis. Clean the vehicle promptly to restore braking effectiveness.
