What is the classification of vehicle flood levels?
1 Answers
Vehicle flood levels are classified from Flood Level 1 to Flood Level 6. The specific classifications are as follows: Introduction to vehicle flood level classification: Flood Level 1: Water has just reached the vehicle's chassis, and the floor may become damp, but the likelihood of significant water ingress is low, with minimal impact on the vehicle's electrical equipment. Flood Level 2: Water reaches halfway up the wheels. Due to the vehicle's incomplete sealing, water will begin to enter the interior. For lower-sedan vehicles, the water level inside may affect the seat adjustment motors and electrical components such as heating and ventilation. Flood Level 3: Water almost completely submerges the tires. At this point, the water level inside the vehicle will fully immerse the seat cushions and center console, affecting a large number of electrical components. Flood Level 4: Water reaches the engine hood. The water level inside rises to the dashboard, and the vehicle's headlights and engine intake pipes in the engine compartment begin to take in water. Flood Level 5: Water completely submerges the engine hood. Almost all electrical components inside the vehicle will be affected by the water. Flood Level 6: Water submerges the roof. The vehicle's ceiling and sunroof module will be affected, and no interior components will be spared.
