Is It Serious If Water Submerges the Chassis?
1 Answers
It is not a serious issue if a car's chassis is submerged in water for a short period. Below are the correct methods for driving through water: 1. Assess the depth of the water: If the water does not exceed half the height of the wheels, it is safe to proceed; otherwise, it is not advisable to continue driving. 2. Use snow mode: After entering a waterlogged section, slow down and drive cautiously. For automatic transmission vehicles, try to use first gear and preferably engage snow mode to prevent wheel slippage. 3. Continuous braking: After exiting the waterlogged section, apply the brakes several times in succession to evaporate the moisture from the brake discs, ensuring the vehicle's braking performance is not affected.
