How deep can a Ford Focus wade through water before encountering issues?
1 Answers
Ford Focus wading depth of 60 cm may cause issues. Here are the precautions for driving through water: 1. Drive in low gear: Use a low gear (for automatic transmission models, engage the hill-climbing gear) and slowly drive through the water at a steady speed while maintaining control of the steering wheel. Be aware of any potholes or gaps in the road beneath the water. 2. Do not restart the engine after stalling: If the vehicle stalls in the water, do not attempt to restart the engine. Engine stalling indicates that water has entered the cylinders. Restarting the engine can cause severe damage due to the incompressibility of water, leading to bending or breaking of the piston connecting rod components, and in severe cases, complete engine failure.
