Effects of water ingress in the car interior: When the water level submerges the car door, water is likely to enter the interior. Rainwater contains many impurities and is unclean, and the post-rain car interior becomes a highly humid greenhouse environment, prone to mold growth. If the vehicle is not dried in time, mold spots can quickly ruin the fabric and leather materials inside the car. Below is an introduction to the effects of water ingress in the car: 1. Hazards: If water enters the car, many electronic devices inside can be affected by water, leading to short circuits and damage. If water enters the engine through the air intake, it can cause engine damage. The consequences of water in the engine are very serious, ranging from requiring major engine repairs to potentially rendering the engine irreparable. 2. Precautions: During heavy rain, it is best for car owners not to drive out and to park the car in a higher area to avoid water immersion. If the car is submerged to the point where water enters through the doors, it indicates that the car has been waterlogged. If the car is found to be waterlogged, check if it can start. If the car can start and shows no signs of malfunction, the first step is to deal with the accumulated water inside the car.
