What should be done after a car is submerged in water?

[OGage]

Contact a towing company to have the car transported to an auto repair shop for treatment. Below is a detailed explanation of how to handle a water-submerged car: 1. Precautions: After a car has been submerged, the computer board and wiring harness must be thoroughly cleaned; otherwise, short circuits may occur, leading to damage to the computer board. The car's chassis must also be treated to prevent rust. This requires completely dismantling the car, removing the floor mats, draining all water from the body, reapplying rust-proofing measures, and ideally replacing the wiring harness and computer board to avoid safety hazards. 2. Detailed Methods: Carefully assess the extent of water submersion. If the water level is not very deep—less than two-thirds of the car's tire height, meaning the water has not reached the exhaust pipe—and does not yet pose a safety threat, quickly start the vehicle and drive it away along a safe route. If the water has already submerged the exhaust pipe and entered the car, remember never attempt to start or turn over the engine.
