Car maintenance manual 1: How to Drive in flooding areas

­车子保养手册1：如果遇上淹水区 或 车子淹水

如果车子遇上淹水区

1    1.    保持冷静并观察周围， 将车子驶向较高的地区同时尽量绕路离开淹水区

2.    如果不幸无路可以避开，记得要放慢车子的速度，踩着油门保持着2000kpm一直到离开淹水区。（如果中途放开油门，车子引擎就会进水了）

3.    如果遇到严重的淹水区堵车，自动车子的引擎恐怕就凶多吉少了！所以一定要避开淹水区以免车子浸泡在水中。手动档的车子遇上淹水区堵车就要踩着离合器(clutch)，以免引擎进水。

4.    抵达目的地后，检查车内的地毯看看车子是否有进水，如果有当然就要清洗啦， 为了安全着想建议把车子送到你信赖的修车中心做详细的检查。

如果车子淹水

1    1.    清除车内的污水并联络修车中心把车子拖去检查。
2.    记得不要自行启动引擎以免引擎进水， 如果将车子直接拖到修车中心处理就能大大的提高

            保住引擎的几率。
