How is a Sedan Considered to be Wading?
1 Answers
Driving on low-lying, waterlogged roads or passing through water is considered wading. Steps for wading: 1. Observe road conditions: Before driving through water, pay attention to the depth, direction, and speed of the water, and determine if there are obstacles such as mud or quicksand underwater. Before wading, also wrap the distributor and high-voltage wires with plastic sheets. 2. Maintain stable power: For hard surfaces, engage a low gear and slowly enter the water. While driving, keep the steering wheel steady and maintain a steady throttle to ensure the car has sufficient and stable power to pass through in one go. Avoid stopping, shifting gears, or making sharp turns midway. 3. Check the electrical system: Dry any wet parts and reinstall the fan belt. Check if any gearboxes have been submerged, if there are any debris blocking the radiator fins, if the tires are damaged, or if there are any water plants tangled under the chassis. Clean the vehicle promptly to restore braking effectiveness.
