How Deep Water Can a Regular Sedan Pass Through?

[DelilahFitz]

When the water level reaches one-third of the tire height, it is still safe to pass through as long as proper operation is followed to avoid unnecessary damage. Below are relevant details about vehicle wading: 1. Introduction to Vehicle Wading: As the name suggests, vehicle wading refers to driving through water on low-lying or flooded roads. This typically occurs during rainy weather in low-lying areas with poor drainage systems. 2. Precautions for Vehicle Wading: Before wading, observe the road conditions carefully. Maintain steady power while in the water, and after wading, inspect the electrical system. If a car stalls in water, the main cause is usually water entering the exhaust pipe, though in some cases, electrical damage may occur. Once a car stalls in water, do not attempt to restart it, as this may cause water to enter the intake manifold and damage the valves, potentially leading to severe engine failure. Instead, the vehicle should be towed to a 4S shop immediately for professional handling.
