How to Rescue Yourself When a Car Falls into Water

[OStephanie]

Rescue methods when a car falls into water are as follows: 1. Keep a clear mind: Immediately after the car submerges, do not panic inside the vehicle. Quickly assess your position and determine an escape route. 2. Adjust your breathing: Since the car hasn't completely filled with water yet, maintaining proper breathing is crucial. Always keep your nose and mouth above the water surface. 3. Unfasten seatbelt and move limbs quickly: Open the car door as soon as the vehicle hits the water. If you wait until the cabin is fully submerged, water pressure will make doors extremely difficult to open. 4. If doors won't open: Check the central locking system, lift it to activate power windows for escape. If window controls fail, use sharp objects inside the car to break windows. After submersion, exhaust all possible means to escape.
