What is the classification of vehicle flood levels?
1 Answers
Flood level one: The water just reaches the vehicle chassis, the floor may get damp, but the possibility of significant water ingress is low, and the impact on the vehicle's electrical equipment is minimal. Flood level two: The water reaches half of the wheels. Due to the vehicle's incomplete sealing, water will start entering the interior. For lower sedans, the water level inside may affect the seat adjustment motors and electrical components like heating and ventilation. Flood level three: The water almost completely submerges the tires. At this point, the water level inside will fully immerse the seat cushions and center console area, affecting a large number of electrical components. Flood level four: The water reaches the engine hood. The water level inside rises to the dashboard, and the headlights and engine intake pipes in the engine bay begin to take in water. Flood level five: The water completely submerges the engine hood. Almost all electrical equipment inside the vehicle will be affected by the floodwater. Flood level six: The water submerges the roof, affecting the ceiling and sunroof module, leaving no interior component unaffected.
