What to Do If the Car Stalls in Water?
1 Answers
If the car stalls in water, it should be towed away from the water area. Towing should be done using a hard connection method to avoid engine damage caused by accidental gear engagement. After towing the car away from the water, promptly conduct a thorough inspection of all electrical components that have been submerged. Perform drainage and drying procedures, then use a multimeter to check for any short circuits in the wiring. Only if everything is normal can the engine be started. Precautions for driving in rainy weather or through waterlogged areas include: 1. Be extra cautious when the water depth exceeds the front bumper; 2. Do not continue driving if the water depth exceeds the engine hood; 3. Avoid crossing ditches or puddles at high speeds; 4. Maintain a sufficient safe distance.
