Where should you not drive through water?
1 Answers
You should not drive if water submerges the vehicle's exhaust pipe. Below are precautions for driving through water: 1. Assess water depth: Determine the water level - if it doesn't exceed half the wheel height, it's generally safe to proceed; otherwise, continuing is not recommended. 2. Use snow mode: After entering flooded areas, reduce speed and drive slowly. For automatic transmission vehicles, use first gear if possible, preferably engaging snow mode to prevent wheel slippage. 3. Continuous braking: After exiting the flooded section, apply the brakes several times consecutively to evaporate moisture from the brake discs, preventing compromised braking performance.
