What Operations Should Be Maintained After a Vehicle Wades Through Water?

[AlexandraLynn]

After a vehicle wades through water, it should maintain low-speed driving and intermittently lightly press the brake pedal to restore braking effectiveness. Below are related introductions about vehicle wading: 1. Vehicle Wading Insurance: According to insurance terms, wading insurance mainly applies when a motor vehicle is submerged up to the exhaust pipe or intake pipe due to heavy rain or floods, and the driver continues to start the vehicle or uses inertia to start the vehicle; or starts the vehicle without necessary treatment after suffering from heavy rain or floods. In these two cases, wading insurance can compensate for the damage caused. 2. Precautions After Wading: Immediately remove explosive substances from the electrical parts, dry the wet parts, and reinstall the fan belt. Check whether each gearbox has been immersed in water, whether there are drifting objects blocking between the radiator fins of the water tank, whether the tires are damaged, whether there are aquatic plants entangled under the chassis, etc. Clean the vehicle in time to restore braking effectiveness.
