Unbuckle (揭开) your seatbelt, lower your window and climb out, ideally onto the roof of the vehicle. Unfasten them from the backseat, pull them into the front and push them out of your window, oldest ones first. In May's experience, electric car windows will continue to work after falling into water..
Don't open the door, water will flood in. Once full of water, the vehicle will sink fast. Vehicle submersions (淹没) have one of the highest death rates of any type of single-motor-vehicle incidents, responsible for 400 deaths a year in North America.
