How to drive correctly in wading and how to deal with it after soaking.

At first glance: when the city encounters heavy rain and the roads are flooded, we often don't know the depth of the water surface, especially in some bumpy sections, because the water quality is dirty and turbid. At this time, it is necessary to pull over and observe the passage of other vehicles.

Second exploration: If there are no other vehicles to provide reference, you can only explore the water depth yourself. When exploring water, you can estimate the depth of the water surface with the help of umbrellas, roadside branches, or referring to the green belts of roadside trees. Don't jump into the water without absolute certainty.

Three to:

The first point of driving is to slow down and avoid slamming on the accelerator with your big feet, so as to avoid the consequences of water pouring into the engine because of the high water level. During driving, it is necessary to keep low gear and high speed, and slowly enter the water and pass at a constant speed. The purpose of this is to obtain the slowest speed and maximum torque by using the lowest gear of the vehicle. Go slow, of course, to prevent water from entering the intake pipe; If an obstacle is encountered, the maximum torque output in low gear can make the vehicle clear the obstacle.

Processing method;

1, check whether the brakes are normal.

After successful wading, don't rush to accelerate, continue to drive at a low speed for a while, and step on the brakes several times on the road without water to avoid rear-end collision due to brake failure. This method can not only check whether the braking is normal, but also make the brake disc and brake pad fully rub, so that the residual moisture can evaporate as soon as possible and the vehicle can recover the braking force faster.

2. Go to the 4S shop to check important parts such as air filters.

In addition to self-checking the brake pads, it is recommended that the driver send the vehicle to the 4S shop for inspection after wading, especially the key parts such as air filter and engine compartment harness interface.

3. "Bath" the chassis when washing the car.

On rainy days, the accumulated water on the road is very dirty, and there will be various sundries such as fallen leaves. When the vehicle wades, these sundries are easily attached to the cracks in the chassis, which will rust the chassis over time. Therefore, when washing the car, you should "bathe" the chassis and do a thorough cleaning.

Extended data:

Misunderstanding of vehicle wading:

1, when wading, big feet boom oil.

In order to prevent water from entering the exhaust pipe by relying on the exhaust pressure when the vehicle wades, it is necessary to supply oil with big feet. This is completely unnecessary, just wading at idle speed is enough.

2. The wading height depends on the height of electrical equipment.

It is generally believed that vehicle electrical appliances and electronic control systems will be damaged or even short-circuited if they are immersed in water. In fact, the wading sections encountered in urban areas are relatively short and can be passed in less than half a minute. In this case, it doesn't matter if the vehicle electrical appliances and electronic control system contact water for a short time, because ISO900 1 international quality management system stipulates that the vehicle electronic control components are required to have waterproof protection measures.
