What are the safety precautions for driving through water accumulation?
1 Answers
Precautions for driving through water accumulation: 1. Observe road conditions: You should slow down or stop to observe. As long as the water level reaches two-thirds of the bumper or tire, driving through water poses a certain danger. High speed will increase the actual water depth of the car, causing rainwater to enter the cabin from the engine compartment or chassis. 2. Turn on the wipers in advance: Slow down when entering the water. Before deciding to pass through the waterlogged road, it is very important to turn on the wiper function in advance. Turning on the wipers in advance can ensure relatively clear and good visibility, helping the vehicle pass through the waterlogged road safely. 3. Stabilize the throttle and drive at a constant speed in low gear: When driving on a waterlogged road, you should first ensure that the vehicle has stable and powerful power, so that there is always pressure gas in the exhaust pipe to prevent water from flowing back into the exhaust pipe and causing the engine to stall. 4. Remove moisture from the brake pads: After the car has driven through water, the moisture on the brake pads should be removed in time, especially for cars with drum brakes, otherwise the vehicle will lose braking after driving through water, causing serious danger or accidents. 5. Do not force ignition: If the engine stalls, do not force ignition. If you make a mistake while driving through water due to unfamiliarity with the road conditions, do not force a second ignition once the vehicle stalls.
