What are the methods to deal with water in the car?
1 Answers
Depending on the duration of the vehicle being submerged in water, the treatment methods are as follows: 1. If the vehicle is submerged during use: Depending on the extent of water ingress, if water has entered the interior or reached a very high level in the vehicle, you must not attempt to move the vehicle. It is necessary to tow the vehicle to a repair facility as soon as possible for inspection and repair. 2. If the vehicle stalls while driving through water or stalls immediately after being submerged: You must not attempt to restart or continue driving. Immediately contact a repair facility for assistance. The primary reason for this situation is that water has entered the engine through the intake system, and in severe cases, it may have entered the combustion chamber, causing the engine to stall. Continuing to drive or attempting to restart the vehicle could result in severe engine damage. 3. Vehicles with unresolved hazards: If a vehicle has been submerged in water and repaired but still has unresolved hazards, the risk of continued use is significant. Severe consequences may include vehicle self-ignition, damage to the engine, transmission, airbags, and other components.
