What should I do if my vehicle is submerged in water?

Methods to deal with a submerged vehicle: 1. If the vehicle is soaked in water, immediately notify the insurance company that underwrites the policy. This is called filing a claim. You can request the insurance company, the vehicle owner, or the policyholder to take photos of the waterlogged scene with a camera or mobile phone as evidence for the claim. 2. Before the rescue tow truck arrives, it is best to disconnect the vehicle's battery power as soon as possible, usually by removing the negative terminal of the battery and setting the transmission to neutral. This prevents accidental startup during towing, which could further damage the vehicle. 3. If the water level has reached the chassis, do not start the engine under any circumstances, or you may unfortunately have to replace the engine.
