Parking the car on the road during heavy rain, the following is an introduction to the related content of waterlogged vehicles: 1. The specific definition of a waterlogged vehicle: The vehicle begins to accumulate water, and the internal components of the vehicle are damaged due to the water. Additionally, waterlogged vehicles have corresponding flood levels. 2. Classification of waterlogged vehicle flood levels: Flood level one is when the water just reaches the vehicle's chassis, flood level two is when the water reaches half of the wheels, flood level three is when the water almost completely submerges the tires, flood level four is when the water reaches the engine hood, flood level five is when the water completely submerges the engine hood, and flood level six is when the water submerges the roof.
I usually pay a lot of attention to car maintenance, especially during heavy rain. Parking the car in a garage is definitely better than leaving it outside. Rainwater doesn’t just wet the paint; it also carries acidic substances or dust particles, which can cause the paint to bubble or fade over time. Even worse, water can accumulate under the car and around the wheel hubs, corroding components like rusting brake discs or causing short circuits in wiring connections. Last time, when I didn’t have a garage, water pooled in the door seams after heavy rain, and the electronic lock malfunctioned, costing me hundreds in repairs. A garage is like a dry harbor, keeping the car dry and avoiding these troubles. If you don’t have a garage, at least park on higher ground to avoid flooded areas, or use a car cover for temporary protection. Preventing these small issues saves a lot of hassle, money, and effort.
