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.

How Long Can National 5 Emission Vehicles Still Be Driven?

Currently, there is no ban notice for National 5 standard vehicles. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Currently, the country has divided the "National 6 standard" into two phases, "National 6a" and "National 6b," and plans to implement them uniformly nationwide in 2020 and 2023, respectively. The National 6 standard, also known as the "National Sixth Stage Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standard," was formulated to implement environmental protection laws, reduce and prevent vehicle exhaust pollution, protect the ecological environment, and ensure human health. 2. If you purchase a vehicle in a "National 5" emission standard area, it cannot be transferred to a "National 6" emission area, reducing the efficiency of used car circulation. However, under the same regional conditions, National 5 models are less likely to be affected by policies such as specific regional traffic restrictions or used car transfer restrictions.
