The flooded car should be pulled out of the water. Traction should be applied by force to avoid damage to the engine due to gear shift error. After the flooded car is dragged out of the water, all the electrical appliances immersed in the water should be carefully checked in time. Drain the water, and then use a multimeter to check whether all lines are short-circuited. If everything is all right, you can start the engine.

Although the car key is removed, there is still a small amount of current in the whole car to supply power for the engine computer, anti-theft system and so on. Be sure to unplug the negative lead of the battery, so as to avoid the short circuit of the electrical appliances in the car due to water ingress.

Matters needing attention in automobile wading

When the owner encounters stagnant water during driving, he must first judge the depth of stagnant water. The simplest and most direct way is to refer to roadside vehicles, generally speaking, not more than half of the hub. The owner should know the height of the air inlet of his car engine from the ground as the wading limit.

After judging that the vehicle can safely pass through the stagnant water, if it is a manual transmission vehicle, the driving gear should be shifted to the second or third gear, and the speed of the automatic transmission vehicle should be controlled above 10 km. When driving, keep the throttle steady and go straight at a low speed, with Qi Xin's cooperation. Don't stop, shift gears or turn sharply in the middle, which will easily lead to the overflow of accumulated water, which will lead to the flameout of the vehicle and engine damage.
