Should a car pass through accumulated water quickly or slowly?
1 Answers
When encountering accumulated water, a car should pass through slowly, and neither accelerate nor decelerate while traversing the water-covered road. Below are precautions for driving through accumulated water: 1. Do not recklessly pass through accumulated water: When a car is driving through water, due to the buoyancy of water and the impact of water flow, the wheel adhesion decreases, and vehicle stability worsens, making it prone to skidding and sideslipping; if the water is deep, electrical equipment is susceptible to short circuits, and the engine is prone to water ingress. Therefore, it is essential to carefully assess the water's depth, flow rate, and the condition of the road beneath the water, and never recklessly pass through accumulated water. 2. Be aware of the safe wading depth of your vehicle model: The water depth must never exceed the height of the engine's air intake, and you should also consider whether the height of the waves in the water might exceed the position of the air intake.
