Wading driving skills

Watching the weather forecast can't prevent rain. Sometimes it rains. It is common for people to drive in the water in rainy days, and drivers may not be able to stop the need to cross the waterlogged road. Small partners need to operate the car well when wading. Improper operation will not only prevent the car from passing through the stagnant water area safely, but also cause more serious mechanical failure. The following is a good way for our car editor to pay attention to wading and drive safely.

Briefly introduce the good methods of safe driving and wading driving in rainy days.

1. When the car is driving, it meets the road surface with water.

First, you should slow down or stop to observe. As long as the water level reaches two-thirds of the bumper or tire, you should drive in the water. The speed of the vehicle will increase the actual water depth of the vehicle and affect the rainwater entering the cab from the cab or chassis. Avoid driving wheelbarrows against the wind. Through observation, if the water level is high, it should be bypassed as much as possible and not forced to pass.

Second, it is necessary to keep a low speed except for car wading.

We also need to try our best not to stop, shift gears, retract the throttle and accelerate. The low and medium-high throttles should pass at a uniform speed, but not through big waves or splashing quickly.

Third, the car stalls in the water and must not be started immediately.

On the contrary, measures should be taken as soon as possible to tow the car to a safe place with little water. Engine water intake is a very serious problem. Water can enter from the intake valve through the air cleaner element, and then enter the cylinder block from the intake pipe. Don't try to start the engine again at this time, otherwise it is very likely to cause the deformation of the engine crankshaft, connecting rod and other important parts, which will cause the automobile engine to shake and shake, and even cause the parts to break in serious cases. The flameout in water is likely to affect the water intake of the engine. After the flameout, the empty trailer can only be put into the repair shop for cleaning.

4. After the car wades, the moisture on the brake pad should be removed immediately.

Especially for cars with drum brakes, otherwise the car will lose its brakes after wading, causing serious dangers or accidents. The specific operation is: drive at a low speed while stepping on the accelerator, and lightly step on the brakes, so that people who can't use more than one foot can step on the brakes many times. At this time, we should pay attention to the slow speed. Friction between brake drum and brake pad will repeatedly lead to evaporation and drainage of heat energy.

A good way to drive safely and plan ahead. The license plate for wading is easy to drop.

1. Install with tapping screws.

This method is often encountered now. Its advantage is that the installation is quick and easy to learn, and it can be installed smoothly with only one screwdriver. Disadvantages, the firmness is somewhat unsatisfactory, and it is easy to drop screws or license plates when crossing the stagnant road.

2. Use tapping screws and anti-theft bolts for installation.

Advantages: firm installation, rust prevention and necessary anti-theft ability. Disadvantages: anti-theft bolts should be solved by themselves, especially stainless steel anti-theft bolts, nuts, gaskets and spring pads should be made of stainless steel. It is still quite troublesome to install. To punch holes, the car needs to be installed on the frame or on the passage.

Installation method: Self-tapping screws are used at the top and anti-theft bolts are used at the bottom. The installation method is basically similar to that of self-tapping screws. The position of the two screws under the front bumper should be perforated. You'd better take the anti-theft bolt to master 4s to help you. You need to remove the plastic partition under the front of the car, and then put your hand into the washer-spring pad-nut on it. The rear bumper is quite simple. Remove the two plugs at the top and bottom of the bumper, and the screws can be directly inserted into them. You can install the washer spring washer nut from the inside of the bumper by hand.

3. Riveting

The specific operation is to find a way to rivet the license plate on the bumper and then simply install it. The advantages of this installation method are firm installation and beautiful appearance. Be careful not to damage the bumper.

A good way to drive safely in the water in rainy days. Vehicle wading detection

1. Chassis

The first thing that needs to be tested is the chassis, because this is the place where the car is most likely to be splashed by rain except the tires when wading. The water in the puddle is not as clean as rain, but also mixed with a lot of dust, dirt and even stones, branches and other sundries. Rain itself has a necessary corrosive effect on metals. When it is mixed with dirty things, it is more likely to corrode the chassis of the car, causing the chassis to rust. A little bit of debris may get stuck in the gap of the chassis with the splash of rain, which is related to the work of the chassis and will also make the chassis make noise. Therefore, after wading, we should first check the automobile chassis, clean up the dirty water stains on the chassis, and take out the sundries caught in the gap.

2. Brake fluid

Brake oil plays an important role in the braking system. When there is a problem with the brake oil, the braking distance will be extended, otherwise it will cause a trip accident. However, after the automobile wades, sewage may be mixed with brake oil through the oil inlet, and the mixing effect of brake oil and water will be greatly weakened, which is related to the work of the brake system. Besides brake oil, there are other oils, such as engine oil and gearbox oil. , should be tested, once found rain mixed, should be replaced immediately.

3. Engine

The car after wading may still be related to the engine, which is the heart of the car and should be highly valued. Rain may enter the engine from the air intake and air filter of the car. If they are found to be wet after wading, it means that the engine may also be flooded. The engine should be tested immediately. There are many electronic devices in the engine room, so it is easy to short-circuit when water enters. You can open the engine compartment by yourself, carefully check whether there is water between the line connectors, and dry it with a hair dryer after finding water.

We can't prevent wading, so we must maintain the car immediately after wading. When it rains, there will be large and small puddles on the ground. The road surface is in good condition and the groundwater is shallow and few. But there will be big puddles when the road is long or in the suburbs. Whether it is a big puddle or a small puddle, it is almost inevitable that the car will get water after passing, and even there will be dust, sand and other debris. Although the car has strong performance and can withstand all kinds of blows, the detection after wading may not be ignored. In many places, the position is basically not completely sealed, but the performance will be related after entering the water. I hope that the information shared by Bianxiao Automobile about safe driving and good ways to plan ahead can help friends better understand this problem.
