How deep is the red line?
In the face of the typhoon brought heavy rain, many owners most troubled is "this water can not be over". In fact, the judgment criteria are not a single number, but depends on the type of vehicle and the water flow state.In general, when the depth of the water is more than half of the tire (about 30 cm), the risk is dramatically increased. for the ordinary household car, if the water level flooded the exhaust pipe or go to the airport, it is very easy to cause the engine to shut down and even waste; and the SUV although the base is higher, it is also difficult to resist the flooding effects of the deep water area.
Even if the depth of the water is only 15 to 20 cm, the impact of the rapidly flowing water stream is sufficient to make the vehicle lose control, side slide or drift. Therefore, the meteorological department and transportation experts often recommend: As long as you can not clearly judge the underwater road conditions, or see the vehicle is difficult to pass, the safest Select is "round" or "parking waiting", do not blindly get into the water.
Vehicle Trapped, How Scientific Escape?
If, unfortunately, the vehicle is extinguished or surrounded by floods while driving, keeping calm is the key to escape.
- First time unlocked.: When the vehicle has just fallen into the water or turned off, the circuit system may not have completely disappeared. immediately unlock the seat belt, open the door locks and windows.
- The window has skills.If the electronic window cannot be opened, do not try to push the door, because the external water pressure will make the door difficult to open. at this time should use a safety hammer or sharp object to hit the four corners of the side window glass (the middle of the stainless glass is the strongest, the corner is fragile).
- Using a headscarf.If there is no dedicated Tools, you can remove the seat head pillow, insert its metal plug into the car window seam, use the lever principle to crush the glass.
The Final Rescue Strategy.
If the water pressure rises very quickly, missed the time to break the window, the car still has air, please do not panic and consume oxygen.Wait for the water in the car to be close to the full, when the water pressure is basically balanced, take a deep breath, push the door out.Al this sounds counter-intuitive, but it is almost impossible to force the door to open under high pressure, and after the water pressure balance, the door can be easily pushed open.
