How Deep of Water Can a Sedan Drive Through?
1 Answers
When the water level reaches one-third of the tire height, it is still safe to pass through as long as the operation is correct, avoiding unnecessary damage. If the water depth exceeds half of the tire height, it is advisable not to proceed further, as this situation can easily lead to water entering the engine's air intake and the vehicle interior, causing unnecessary damage. Related details are as follows: 1. Vehicle Wading: Vehicle wading refers to driving through low-lying, waterlogged areas, typically occurring during rainy weather or in low-lying road sections with poor drainage. 2. Assessing Water Depth: Before driving through water, observe the depth, flow direction, and speed of the water, and check for obstacles like mud or quicksand beneath the surface. Additionally, wrap the distributor and high-voltage wires with plastic or similar materials. Pay attention to the route and speed of vehicles ahead to gauge the water depth and determine if your vehicle can pass safely.
