There are several steps or tips that can be followed. The main thing to note is the character of the car. For example, by knowing the location of the coil, distributor, and altitude airways (water intake). These three sections are to be kept from the ingress of water (see box).
If possible, the previously observed that there was another vehicle in front. If the car is able to pass through a puddle of water without having problems, so-so follow what he does. Do not forget to compare the type of vehicle before us. By driving an MPV or SUV, it would be much easier to follow another vehicle. It is back on the problem of the location of water intakes are located relatively higher, so it is safe through puddles. However, if the type of sedan or a city car would have to think some more, because it is lower, so that vulnerable intruding water.
If it turns out the vehicle in front of the engine to run into problems such as strike, plunged deep holes, then think once again what makes it so. What is clear, if indeed a puddle of water is too high (possibly exceeding the bumper), we certainly do not need to force myself to get through the existing flood area. Rather than later through the same thing, would be more hassle is not it?
Set the pedal stamping
Unlike when you are sure is true with the state and the ability for the car through a puddle of water. Plus a little peace is expected not to do things wrong or silly. Previously, the lights turn on or near the city. In addition to the lighting, if needed, as well as the distance a signal to other vehicles. Shift the transmission gear at the lowest position (1), after that keep the engine rotation between 2,000 and 3,000 rpm.
Run the car with very low (less than 10 km / h). The more slowly the greater the surface area of the tire tread the path, so that traction will get the maximum. In arranging the stamping on the accelerator, do it as smooth as possible. The sudden pressure on the gas pedal, can make the water around the machine will be shaken due to the sudden movement of the car body.
A little imagination
There is a smart move when through a puddle, ie, by utilizing a wave of water pushed. By keeping the distance to the car in front (less than 5 m), will be able to take advantage of the low water level due to the movement of cars in front. The water level can be lower by about 3 to 5 cm, but it can help in certain circumstances or critical.
A little imagination is no less logical helped the success of its length out of puddles. Namely, to look for things that still looks like a public telephone, traffic lights, signs and traffic we can imagine where the location of sidewalks, zebra crossing, the location of pit road, and so on. It would be better if it is often through these roads in normal circumstances. So, imagination is also necessary when taking street flooding.
Reconditioning Brake
Once made it through a puddle of water, it would be better steer the car while trying to pull a little brake performance. This needs to be done considering the vehicle brake system has just submerged by water. In addition to making it so slippery because of water coated, most likely there will also be dirt. Therefore, it is recommended to try first brake job. If the brakes were still less grip, can be tried with the brake pedal (not too deep) in a state car is still running. Enough to about 20 m only. The heat arising from friction makes the surface of brake shoes, drum, or disc dry again and ready to work like a normal state.
Arriving at the house or other place that allows, a time for spraying pressurized water to all parts and brake cracks. The goal, is to remove all dirt or mud attached to the brake system. Remember, dirt with certain sizes and materials can make the surface of the brake shoes wear out quickly. Also, it can cause uneven wear, causing the control and stability decreases.
Crust in the Grid
In addition to the above, the radiator is also one part that must be cleaned. Because in general the width of the tool is shaped and located in the front, so that the lattice potential dirt stuck. Silt, pieces of plastic, paper, or leaves contained in a puddle of water could have been left behind in this section. If not promptly cleaned up, can make the cooling system becomes impaired. If you always put off cleaning up discharges will be hardened into a crust on the lattice. Thus will increase the likelihood of other dirt stuck, making it accumulate. The risk is greater occurred over-heat in the engine.
One more thing that needs to be done, is to clean the alternator. Basically the tool of this one was not affected because under water, but fecal matter can cause it to become an insulator, so that cut off power battery charging. As a result, over time the battery will come up short.
To clean it, do live in a state machine, so that dirt can be moved up. In a few moments, spray water, until it looks clean from dirt. (Riz)

QNX has a knack for turning up where I least expect it. Sometimes, I'm even surprised by how our technology partners use it — and I head up strategic alliances at QNX Software Systems. In this case, at least, I can claim ignorance based on distance.
