Vehicle flooding requires the following steps: 1. Park in a safe location and check if the engine ignition system is wet; dry any damp electrical components with a cloth. 2. Call for roadside assistance. 3. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. 4. Inspect the brake fluid and all four wheel brakes. 5. Check all gearboxes for water ingress and ensure the radiator fins are clear of debris. 6. Examine the tires for damage. Common causes of vehicle flooding include: 1. Poor sealing of door panels. 2. Blocked drainage holes at the bottom of doors. 3. Water entering through the air intake near the windshield wipers under the hood.
