1 Answers
Buick GL8's self-protection measures when stalling in water are as follows: Stop and observe: If the water level reaches two-thirds of the tire height, you should not continue to wade through water and should slow down or stop to observe. As long as the water level reaches the bumper or two-thirds of the tire height, there is a certain danger in continuing to drive through water. High speed will increase the actual water depth the car passes through, causing rainwater to enter the cabin from the engine compartment or chassis. Avoid driving against the waves of large vehicles. If observation shows that the water level is high, try to detour and do not force your way through. Drive through at a constant speed: During driving, maintain a low speed and drive through at a constant speed. Try not to stop, shift gears, release the throttle, or accelerate. You should pass through in low gear with medium to high throttle at a constant speed, rather than speeding through and splashing large waves or water.
