How to save themselves after the distress of the automobile water mind to be calm

7.21 on Saturday, Beijing suffered a heavy rainfall in the 61 years since the Beijing urban area is a vast expanse of water, traffic almost to a standstill. Up to now, a total of 37 people were killed in this heavy rainfall, which a driver was trapped inside the vehicle were killed. Ruthless act of God, in the face of such sudden danger, how to deal with, how to preserve their own safety, have the necessary self knowledge is particularly important. Today we come together to explore how to save themselves after the distress of the car the water, life can not be repeated, do not let the recurrence of this tragedy.

First, quick to choose, to act decisively

The general rainfall when storms hit in a very short period of time, a sudden increase in lower-lying areas will soon form a large number of water. If you drive on the road, drivers to do is to quickly make a judgment, calm observation of the surrounding terrain, possible vehicle to a height flameout waiting for. However, in the lower-lying, and is not able to quickly move vehicles, then do not hesitate to immediately pull over vehicles flameout to get off, to leave the danger zone.

 

 Second, wading ability to correctly estimate the vehicle and driving skills, do not use luck to change dangerous

Will be referred to in the vehicle manual vehicle wading capacity, engine inlets for general family cars substantially with the engine cover is in the same horizontal position, then intuitive If depth is not over the wheel, then in that the degree of depth under wading will be very dangerous, very likely to stall in water. For the SUV, the engine position will be slightly higher than the ordinary car, but the height is not absolutely safe. Similarly, we should pay attention through deeper hydrocephalus.

Deep lot after the water level must maintain a low position, hold the throttle, the vehicle was very dangerous

Second is the driving method, water driving in order to low-speed, hold the throttle. First, the low gear at low speed to keep the engine torque output, the front of the action in the water will form a "push water", if the speed is too fast, the water will be pushed to go quickly intrusion, and will certainly cause the engine inlet. Maintain slow into the water, hold the throttle, do not slam on the fierce lift.

Again, and then look at the exhaust pipe water. To maintain as said before wading through a gear, simultaneously stabilize throttle. For manual shift car, lift the throttle the moment due to the speed suddenly drops, the formation of a negative pressure, even if the gap is very short, but the water is as likely to be "sucked into the engine, a small amount of water does not engine to cause too much damage, but if more ranging from causing the engine flameout may cause damage to the crankshaft and connecting rod.Stagnant water sections under unclear circumstances, not to rush through. Also have to control your speed and throttle

So, through standing water sections of the automatic transmission models choose to force a file, hold the steering wheel, slow throttle; kept in a file location, for manual transmission models, especially the throttle control, do not slam on the fierce lift . Driving skills or have a certain technical requirements.
