Will the car engine get water in on rainy days?
1 Answers
No. Because the engine's air intake goes through the air filter, which is located in the engine compartment and covered by the hood, it generally does not get water in. The precautions for driving on rainy days are as follows: 1. Maintain good visibility: Besides driving carefully, turn on the wipers in time when driving in the rain, and also turn on the low beams and fog lights when the weather is dim. 2. Prevent wheel skidding: When driving in the rain, the rainwater on the road forms a "lubricant" with the tires, reducing the car's braking performance and making it prone to skidding. Therefore, the driver should hold the steering wheel with both hands in balance, maintain straight and low-speed driving, and when turning, gently apply the brakes to prevent the tires from locking up and causing the vehicle to skid. 3. Drive slowly in low gear: Regardless of the width of the road or the condition of the road surface, try to use second or third gear when driving in the rain, with a speed not exceeding 30 or 40 kilometers per hour, always pay attention to the distance between the vehicles in front and behind and your own car, and be mentally prepared to take various emergency measures in advance.
