    Sometimes walking for too long or walking to rough places can be hard and tiring, but driving on the road can be even harder. For example, sometimes there will be traffic accidents on the road, and sometimes the car will be driven into the water, although the probability of the accident will be very small, or even lower than the probability of winning the lottery, but this kind of thing does happen frequently.

    Falling into the water is a problem that every car owner does not think about, thinking that he will not drive his car into the water. But if it's an emergency, it's less than the odds of being alive after a car accident on the road. In fact, the car will not sink to the bottom of the river after falling into the water, but will float on the river for a while, you can take advantage of this time to escape from the danger, in fact, a lot of accidents about the car after falling into the water can not escape this kind of accident, most of them are formed because of tension, as long as you keep calm, make the right judgment and grasp the accurate timing, the probability of escape is very large.

    But why are many people unable to escape after falling into the water?

    First of all, the owner drove the car into the river, the body itself was already unstable, and the people in the car also lost their center of gravity, it was difficult to react at this time, and the car collided with the water, and the people in the car would inevitably be unconscious, plus the car began to sink slowly to the bottom of the water, during which few owners could keep calm, so that the best time to escape would also be missed.

    After the car fell into the water, there are some calmer owners who can't escape, because because the car is closed and the water pressure is too strong, there is no way to open it at this time. Not only that, but the windows of today's cars are electric, and the windows cannot be opened.

    It is emphasized here that even if it is a power window, you have to find a way to smash the window at such a time, otherwise the air inside will run out and the people in the car will not be able to escape. The most commonly used method is to smash with an escape hammer, so that it is more convenient to smash the glass, if not, you can find some sharper items in the car to smash, and you can not smash the middle when smashing, because the problem of water pressure is not good to smash in the middle, if you smash it, the impact of the water is very large and will pour into the car at once. It's best to smash the corners, and once you smash it, reach out and open the car door to escape.

    However, some cars are designed with a special escape ring, in which case you can directly open the trunk and then climb out of the trunk to escape.

It can be opened and the windows can be lowered in the shortest possible time to allow the occupants of the car to get out.

    It takes about 2 minutes for the car to completely fall into the water, and it will not sink to the bottom instantly. When the water has just flooded the tires of the car, the doors can still be opened, so evacuate from the doors quickly. If the doors and windows won't open, then escaping through the skylight is the best way to go.

    Unbuckle your seatbelts, stay calm, keep a clear head, don't sit there yelling, don't try to push the car doors, and wait quietly for the car to enter the water. If the window is open, close it quickly. Because if the windows are open, the rapid influx of water will make it impossible to find the way north.

    If the door center console is locked, pull up the center console. When the water in the car is close to your head, take a deep breath and push the door open. Due to the close proximity of the water pressure inside and outside the car, the doors should be easy to open at this point.

When the water overflows the roof of the car, panic, don't shout, keep a little oxygen in the car, keep your physical strength from being exhausted by despair, shout, struggle desperately, and do everything possible to break the window to escape; When face down, escaping from the sunroof and trunk is the best route; If you can't swim, find something that floats in the car, hold your breath and try to float into the water. Double-check the first four tires.

    It is best to go to a professional repair shop to adjust the tire pressure.

    In particular, don't forget to check the spare tire to see if it's in good condition. When you are resting, also check the tires and knock them with your fist to see if they are normal. If there is an air leak, fix it immediately.

    Once a flat tire occurs while driving, you can't press the brakes urgently, so that the car is easy to lose control. Hold the steering wheel tightly and gradually slow down to one side. This also reminds car owners that they should usually develop the habit of checking the spare tire, and once there is a problem with the tire, it is convenient to replace it in time.

    Unable to open the door, waiting for an opportunity to escape. As the body gradually sinks, it will continue to enter the water. At this time, the current is strong, and it is difficult to escape.

    Until the internal and external pressures are equal, the water level in the car will rise again. When the water level is no longer rising, the occupants of the car can take a deep breath, hold their breath, and try to open the door or trunk again to escape. After getting out of the car, keep your back and quickly swim into the water for help.

    Be careful of hitting other weights floating in the water. If you can't swim, try to find some floats to support you before you leave the car.

    When the car falls into the water, you should first open the doors and windows to escape in time. Summarizing the expert opinions, the escape steps after the car falls into the water are roughly four steps, but this is based on three premises:

    1. Fasten your seatbelt when driving. Because of the impact of falling into the water, people who are not wearing seat belts may be knocked unconscious first.

    2. The car is not deformed. After the car was deformed, the person was stuck, and the door could not be opened.

    3. Able to swim.

    The steps are as follows] First, immediately unfasten the seat belt, the first time you fall into the water, the door is easy to open, and you can push the door to escape. If it can't be opened, check the central lock of the door and pull it up. Activate the door and window lift system and lower the windows.

    2. If the circuit is short-circuited and the window cannot be opened, it is necessary to smash the window with sharp instruments such as a hammer. The fire extinguisher is in the trunk, and the most likely window to break is the headrest inserted into the seat. Two steel rods are attached to the bottom of the headrest. If you hit the corners of the side windows with a steel rod, you will break.

    3. Don't smash the front windshield, hit the corners of the window glass. The front windshield is laminated, and even if it is broken, there is a layer of glue to stick the broken glass together.

    4. If the above methods fail and the vehicle continues to sink, simply save up strength and wait for the carriage to be filled with water, and then open the door to escape. The whole compartment is filled with water for a while, and in the gradual sinking, the gap between the body will continue to enter the water, and when the internal and external pressure is equal, the water level in the compartment will no longer rise. When the water level is no longer rising, take a deep breath and dive into the water and quickly open the car door to escape.

    When the vehicle is flooded, the front of the car will sink first, and the air will concentrate on the rear of the car and gradually reduce the volume, and the occupants of the car can stretch their heads to the rear of the car to breathe, and wait until the water pressure inside and outside the car is equal before opening the door to go out.

    In addition, it is recommended to buy a life-saving hammer at a car decoration store and put it in the storage box in the center of the car for emergency use.

    If you can open the car window, you have a very good chance of escaping. If it is a mechanically controlled door, the owner can choose to roll out the window, but if it is electronically controlled, the car may have no electricity when it encounters water, and the side window glass of the car should be broken with heavier items in the car.

    1.Try opening the door as soon as possible: the door can be opened and you can flee quickly. When the car encounters water, open the door unlock button immediately to avoid locking due to power failure, and open the door in time to escape.

    2.Roll down the window: If the door won't open, try to roll the window down quickly.

    3.Smash windows: If the windows and doors won't open, you have to smash the windows. Remind all drivers that there must be a safety hammer and other window-smashing equipment in the car, and smashing the window at a critical moment to save yourself is faster and more effective than any way to call for help!

    3.Smash the window to smash the side window: The front windshield is double-layered and not easy to smash, so the side windows should be smashed. When falling into the water, you should smash which window is closer, and when you smash it, you should smash the four corners of the glass.

    4.High heels and seat headrests are unreliable: high heels are not hard enough, and the bottom end of the metal frame of the headrest of some cars is not sharp, which cannot smash the car window and cannot be inserted into the gap between the car windows.

    5.Once you are trapped, seek professional help immediately: rescuers have professional life-saving knowledge and skills, and they can direct you to use the right method to escape quickly by ** at the first time.

    6.If you can't open the door when you are wading through deep water, you can wait until the water level inside and outside the car is the same before trying to open the door. If the car is completely submerged in water, and the door cannot be opened due to the water pressure, you need to find a broken glass window near the water surface to escape, you can use a safety hammer, fire extinguisher, jack and other tools to attack the weak corner of the window.

    7.After escaping from the vehicle: If the water is deep, look for floating objects as soon as possible, keep your face up, and quickly escape from the water for rescue.

    8.If the vehicle is submerged in water, try not to start the engine: starting the car is likely to cause water to enter the engine.

    Please contact the 4S shop and the insurance company in time for rescue, if the 4S shop and the insurance company cannot arrive at the scene in time, the owner of the car should take pictures in time. Flood ** is reserved for subsequent repair claims.
