The solutions for water entering a car are: 1. Remove the negative terminal of the battery as soon as possible to prevent short circuits in various electrical components due to water exposure; 2. Immediately inspect the engine, first checking if water has entered the engine cylinders, as this can cause bent connecting rods and engine damage; 3. Check if water has mixed with the engine oil, as water contamination can degrade the oil and reduce its lubricating properties, leading to excessive engine wear; 4. Inspect the transmission for water ingress, as water can degrade the gear oil and cause gear wear; 5. Check the brake fluid and all four-wheel brakes, as water in the brake fluid can degrade it and lead to brake failure; 6. If water has entered the exhaust pipe, drain it promptly to prevent impurities from clogging the catalytic converter or damaging the oxygen sensor; 7. Check if the battery is fully submerged in water and replace the electrolyte if necessary; 8. For automatic transmission vehicles, inspect the transmission and transmission control computer for water damage; 9. Dry soaked interior items (seat covers, floor mats, etc.) as soon as possible to prevent mold growth.

What does EV mean?

EV stands for pure electric driving mode, which is a motor-driven mode that conventional gasoline or diesel-powered vehicles do not have. The EV mode is typically equipped in pure electric vehicles or hybrid vehicles. At the same time, EV also represents electric vehicles. When using the EV mode, the fuel engine in hybrid models will not start, so it cannot charge the battery, resulting in lower range in EV mode. Precautions for using pure electric vehicles include: 1. Try to drive on urban roads as much as possible when using pure electric vehicles to avoid stalling due to lack of power; 2. Charge the pure electric vehicle immediately; 3. Avoid immersing the car battery in water.
