\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Driving fast through water is dangerous. It can severely damage your vehicle as it can cause a splash into your engine bay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your tires can also lose contact with the road, causing you to lose steering control. If that happens, do not brake your vehicle. Slowly remove your foot from the acceleration pedal and keep your steering wheel straight until your tires grip again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drive slowly while crossing the deep water. Do not ever bring your car to a halt as that would allow water to get into the exhaust. Keep the engine revs up and select the lowest gear possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_not_restart_your_engine_if_your_vehicle_halts\"><\/span>Do not restart your engine if your vehicle halts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your car halts while wading through the floodwaters, ensure that you do not restart your engine immediately. Doing so will only cause more damage to your engine by letting water in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the water level is rising,\u200b\u200b please try to get out of your car. The pressure of the water outside may prevent your doors from opening. You could try using force by pushing the door with both of your legs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may use your headrest or other tools such as a car safety hammer to break one of the door windows to escape safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Switch_off_the_air-conditioning\"><\/span>Switch off the air-conditioning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-attachment-id=\"18921\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/bjak.my\/blog\/info\/how-to-drive-your-car-through-flooded-roads\/attachment\/photo1641958338-1\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/photo1641958338-1.jpeg?fit=1080%2C1080&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1080,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"photo1641958338-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/photo1641958338-1.jpeg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/photo1641958338-1.jpeg?fit=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/photo1641958338-1.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Switch off the air-conditioning\" class=\"wp-image-18921\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/photo1641958338-1.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/photo1641958338-1.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/photo1641958338-1.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/photo1641958338-1.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/photo1641958338-1.jpeg?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to&nbsp;<strong>switch off your air-conditioning<\/strong> when going into the floodwaters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many car compressors are located close to the ground in the engine bay.

This way, you will know whether your car can go through the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, a car will lose power in depths greater than 15cm. The water will enter the exhaust and wash into the air intake, causing it to float once the flood level exceeds 30cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The maximum depth most experts advise you to drive a standard car through water is 10cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Take_an_alternative_route\"><\/span>Take an alternative route<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can, try to avoid driving through deep, fast-flowing roads by taking another route.<br><br>It is better to be late than risk your car\u2019s engine and other electrical components. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Be_safe_try_to_avoid_flooded_roads\"><\/span>Be safe, try to avoid flooded roads<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope this article will help you if you ever get stuck on a flooded road. <meta charset=\"utf-8\">But do remember to leave your car if the flood starts to worsen as your life is much more important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry.
