What does a Level 5 water-damaged vehicle mean?
1 Answers
Level 5 water-damaged vehicle: The water has completely submerged the engine compartment cover, at which point almost all electrical equipment inside the vehicle will be affected by the water. There are a total of six levels of water damage to vehicles, with the following descriptions: 1. Water damage level 1: The water has just reached the vehicle's chassis, and the vehicle floor may become damp, but the likelihood of significant water ingress is low, and the impact on the electrical equipment inside the vehicle is minimal. 2. Water damage level 2: The water has submerged half of the wheels. Due to the incomplete sealing of the vehicle, water will begin to enter the interior. For lower-bodied sedans, the water level inside may affect the adjustment motors of the vehicle seats as well as electrical components such as heating and ventilation. 3. Water damage level 3: The water has almost completely submerged the tires. At this point, the water level inside the vehicle will completely submerge the seat cushions and the central armrest area, while also affecting a large number of electrical devices.
