At what water level should a car not proceed?
1 Answers
When the wading water level reaches two-thirds of the bumper or tire height, continuing to drive through water poses certain risks. Relevant explanations are as follows: 1. Reason: Higher speed increases the actual water depth the car is passing through, which may cause rainwater to enter the cabin from the engine compartment or chassis. Generally, water depth up to half the wheel height (approximately 30 cm) is manageable. It is advisable not to proceed if the depth exceeds this level. 2. Solution: If only a small amount of water enters the car and the floor mats are slightly damp, simply open the doors, remove the mats, and allow them to air dry in the sun.
