What is the maximum wading depth of a Wrangler?
1 Answers
Automobile maximum wading depth is measured based on the position of the vehicle's air intake. Below are the details: Measured by the position of the vehicle's air intake: For most compact and small cars with low ground clearance, the air intake position is used as the benchmark when passing through waterlogged roads. The function of the air intake is to draw in air. If the water depth exceeds the height of the air intake, a large amount of water can be sucked into the engine, which can severely endanger the vehicle's safety. The air intake is mostly located under the engine hood. Generally, the height of the engine air intake is the maximum wading depth limit for the vehicle. If the water level exceeds this limit, the vehicle should not continue to drive. Preventing water from entering the engine: When driving in deep water, the vehicle's movement can cause high splashes. Therefore, if the water depth exceeds two-thirds of the wheel height, water may enter the cabin. If the water depth exceeds the front bumper or approaches the front grille, it can directly cause water to enter the engine, damaging the vehicle.
