Should You Drive Fast or Slow Through Water Accumulation?
1 Answers
Drive slowly through water accumulation. Below are relevant introductions about vehicle wading: 1. Introduction to vehicle wading: As the name suggests, vehicle wading refers to driving on low-lying, waterlogged roads, passing through water. This generally occurs during rainy weather in low-lying areas where inadequate drainage leads to water accumulation on the road. 2. Precautions: Before wading, observe the road conditions carefully; during wading, maintain steady power; after wading, check the electrical system. If a car stalls in water, the main reason is usually water entering the exhaust pipe, though in some cases, electrical damage may also occur. Once a car stalls in water, do not attempt to restart it, as this may cause water to enter the intake manifold and damage the valves, potentially leading to severe engine failure in serious cases. Instead, the vehicle should be towed to a 4S shop immediately for professional handling.
