What to Do If You Accidentally Drive Your Car into Water?
1 Answers
The handling method for a car stalling in water is: 1. Do not attempt to restart the engine; push the car to a position that does not obstruct traffic. 2. Close all doors and windows, and wait for rescue. The impacts after a car has been submerged in water include: 1. Power-related issues: The engine may experience insufficient power and shaking problems; the high-voltage distribution system may become damp or short-circuited due to water ingress; the exhaust pipe may take in water. Residual water can prevent the brake discs and brake pads from fully engaging, causing the car to lose braking power; debris can easily accumulate in the chassis gaps, leading to rust. 2. Safety concerns: Water vapor may form inside the headlights, affecting the light transmission; the wiring harness and circuit interfaces in the engine compartment may get wet, causing short circuits.
