What is the maximum wading depth of the Honda CR-V?
1 Answers
Due to its relatively low ground clearance, the Honda CR-V has a maximum wading depth of only 40cm. As a general rule, if the water depth exceeds half of the tire height, it is advisable not to attempt crossing. Below are some precautions for driving through water: Drive in low gear: Use a low gear (for automatic transmission models, engage the hill climb gear) and proceed slowly at a steady speed through the waterlogged area, while maintaining control of the steering and being cautious of any potholes or gaps beneath the water surface. Do not restart the engine if it stalls: If the vehicle stalls in a waterlogged area, remember not to restart the engine. Engine stalling indicates that water has entered the cylinders, and attempting to restart it can cause severe damage due to the incompressibility of water, potentially bending or breaking the piston connecting rod components, and in extreme cases, leading to complete engine failure.
