What to Do If the Car Stalls in Water and Attempts a Second Start?
1 Answers
If the car stalls in water and attempts a second start, it is recommended to immediately call the insurance company's tow truck to have the car towed away and then take it to a 4S shop for repairs. It is important to note that if you have purchased water-related insurance, the insurance company will not cover the costs if you attempt a second ignition after stalling in water. The correct steps to take when a car stalls in water are: 1. Stay calm and turn off the ignition switch; 2. Remove the negative terminal of the battery to prevent short circuits in the vehicle's electrical systems due to water ingress; 3. Move the vehicle to a safe location; 4. Check whether water has entered the engine cylinders; 5. Inspect the condition of the fluids in the vehicle's various systems; 6. Clean the fuse box, sensor connectors, and areas where water has accumulated on the body.
