After the vehicle has waded through water, it should maintain low-speed driving and intermittently lightly press the brake pedal to evaporate any residual moisture in the braking system and restore braking performance. While driving, if you encounter a waterlogged road, there is a certain danger if the water level reaches two-thirds of the bumper or tire height. Therefore, it is essential to follow standard procedures. Precautions for the brake pedal: 1. Use both hands: During emergency braking, hold the steering wheel with both hands and avoid operating it with one hand. 2. Check the brake pedal: The free travel of the brake pedal directly affects braking time and distance. Therefore, always check if the free travel of the brake pedal is appropriate before driving.

When encountering water on the road, I often have to drive at low speed. If water gets into the brake system and causes failure, it would be disastrous. Operating the pedals is simple: just lightly press the accelerator, avoid sudden acceleration, and maintain a steady speed of around 20km/h. Test the brakes in advance, such as gently pressing to feel if the resistance is normal—don’t wait until an emergency stop to discover an issue. For manual transmissions, don’t forget to use the clutch—lightly press it while shifting to a lower gear to stabilize the RPM. After driving through water, don’t rush to accelerate; drive for a few minutes to let the water drain from the chassis, and listen for any unusual noises to prevent water from entering the engine. Remember, low speed not only ensures safety but also prolongs the car’s lifespan—driving a bit longer gives peace of mind.

What Should You Pay Attention to When Driving on the Highway?

When driving on the highway, you should pay attention to the following points: 1. Distance: When a motor vehicle is driving on the highway at a speed exceeding 100 km/h, it should maintain a distance of more than 100 meters from the vehicle in front in the same lane; when the speed is below 100 km/h, the distance from the vehicle in front in the same lane can be appropriately shortened, but the minimum distance should not be less than 50 meters. 2. Entering and Exiting: When a motor vehicle enters the highway acceleration lane from the ramp, it should turn on the left turn signal and merge into the traffic lane without obstructing the normal driving of vehicles already on the highway; when exiting the highway, the vehicle should turn on the right turn signal 500 meters before the exit, change to the right lane, and smoothly enter the deceleration lane from the beginning, reducing speed before exiting. 3. Speed: 1) Maximum Speed: The maximum speed for small passenger cars should not exceed 120 km/h, for other motor vehicles it should not exceed 100 km/h, and for motorcycles it should not exceed 80 km/h. 2) Minimum Speed: When there are two lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the left lane is 100 km/h; when there are three or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the leftmost lane is 110 km/h, for the middle lane it is 90 km/h, and for the right lane it is 60 km/h. 3) Speed Limit Signs Take Priority: If the speed indicated by road speed limit signs conflicts with the above lane speed regulations, the speed indicated by the road speed limit signs should be followed.

Why Does the Car Accelerator Feel Heavy?

Car accelerator feeling heavy can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Excessive engine oil, which increases internal resistance during engine operation, resulting in slow engine speed increase when the accelerator is pressed; 2. High viscosity of engine oil, leading to excessive internal resistance during engine operation, preventing the engine speed from rising quickly when the accelerator pedal is pressed; 3. Issues with spark plugs and ignition coils can also cause the engine to lack power and accelerate slowly when the accelerator is pressed. Spark plugs should be replaced periodically. Not replacing them for a long time can lead to increased electrode gap and excessive carbon buildup on the electrodes. When selecting engine oil, it should be chosen based on the engine's technical characteristics.
