Driving safety and car protection are correct.

Recently, it rained heavily, and many riders were afraid to drive. On the one hand, because of heavy rainfall, the line of sight is blocked, which affects driving safety; On the other hand, because some novice drivers have not mastered the driving skills in heavy rain, they are particularly afraid to wade. Many riders want to know about driving and wading in rainy days, such as: "What if the engine is turned off when wading?" ? What problems should I pay attention to when driving in rainy days? "And a series of questions, today Bian Xiao will tell you some matters needing attention and driving skills in the rainstorm.

Bubble cars are divided into three situations:

1, the water depth reaches the wheel position. Generally speaking, the chassis of SUV has good sealing and drainage, and the wading depth is large. However, it does not mean that all SUVs can be spared. As for cars, you should be very careful. Generally speaking, the wading depth of a car is between 200mm-300mm. This wading depth refers to the water level that the car can safely pass under the condition of driving slowly in the water.

2. Water does not pass through the dashboard;

3. The whole car is soaked in water. 、

One of these three situations is common and easy to handle, which has some effects, but basically does not affect the normal use in the future; Two or three situations are different. It can be said to be a real bubble car. Even after the repair is completed, there will still be problems, because a large amount of rainwater is poured into the engine compartment, the fuse in the fuse box is easy to short circuit, and some sensors are soaked, which is easy to fail and oxidize, leading to a series of failures.

One step of wading to stop: pay attention to the wading depth and don't start the engine twice. If your car turns off automatically in the rain, never try to light it again. A flameout means that the engine has suffocated. If operated at this time, it may cause the car to "squat" directly.

Step 2: get out of the car and try to push the wading vehicle out ... especially when it is raining cats and dogs, it is more dangerous to stay in the car. Some low-grade cars or old cars have poor sealing performance, so water can easily enter the car. If the accumulated water exceeds the floor and is soaked for a long time, your car will become a "bubble car", so push it out first.

Step 3: Call for help. Again, there are many cars that need rescue at this time, so we must push them out first.

What points should I pay attention to when driving in rainy days?

1, vehicle function check.

It is important to keep a clear line of sight when driving in heavy rain. Then, the two major problems that affect the line of sight when driving in rainy days are unclear glass and fog. Therefore, when driving in rainstorm weather, it is necessary to check whether the wiper of the vehicle works normally. If the wiper is damaged or doesn't work properly, try not to drive, because it is almost impossible to drive without the wiper in heavy rain.

In addition, check whether the defogging function of the vehicle can be used normally. Among them, the defogging function is very important for the windshield defogging button on the air conditioning panel, which can be done if the air is blown normally. Secondly, you can also turn on the heating function of the rearview mirror when driving, which will also solve the problem that the rain in the rearview mirror affects the line of sight to a certain extent.

2. Increase the following distance and predict in advance.

The big difference between driving in rainy days and driving in sunny days is that there is water on the road. Water accumulation will not only reduce the grip of tires, but also directly make the braking distance longer. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the following distance, step on the brakes in advance, and choose the appropriate following distance according to the drainage performance of the tires.

In addition to the distance control of braking, driving in rainy days should also avoid sudden acceleration and rapid cornering. Because the poor grip of tires in rainy days will greatly reduce the cornering limit and acceleration performance of vehicles, the throttle and steering should be as gentle as possible when driving in rainy days.

3, low, slower than water

As the saying goes, "faster than sand, slower than water", this is the experience of old drivers, that is to say, when crossing the water, you should be slow. When it is confirmed that the wading depth will not affect the flameout of the vehicle, wading should be slow and even. In this way, the water ripples pushed up will not enter the air inlet and cause flameout. It is also beneficial to adjust the direction and control the speed as soon as possible when wading.

In addition, when crossing deep water, try to switch to manual mode or wading mode, and try to control the gear position in the second gear. In this way, not only can there be enough torque to wade, but also the speed of the second gear is within the speed range of wading. Too low or too high will affect the fluency of wading.

Some car owners like to rush over when crossing some depressions, which is precisely the wrong choice. If the engine air intake is designed to be relatively high and the opening is upward, that's fine, but the conventional design is generally forward-facing, almost at the same position as the license plate, which is just conducive to pouring water into it.

4, behind the cart, wading is safer.

Because deep wading may cause water to enter the engine air intake system, many old drivers try not to let the air intake grille touch the water. Then, it is a good choice to follow large vehicles such as buses.

After the bus wades, it will push water in front and form a shallow water surface behind it. If the car wades behind the bus, it will greatly reduce the possibility of water entering the air intake system.

5. Try to avoid driving near the roadside.

In rainstorm weather, roadside drainage wells may lack manhole covers. In order to speed up drainage, or the manhole cover is damaged. There will be more uncertainty on the roadside with stagnant water. So try to drive in the middle of the road and the lane in front of it, and reduce driving near the roadside.

In addition, in addition to security factors. Roadside is generally a drainage place, and there will be more water accumulation. If the speed is fast, the spray is likely to splash on pedestrians, which is not only uncivilized, but also easy to cause personal or property losses to others.

Some cities in China have been hit by heavy rain, which not only makes public transportation more difficult, but also makes many drivers afraid to drive. Remind the owner again that you must do what you can when wading in rainy days.
