What is the maximum wading depth of the Jeep Compass?
1 Answers
According to official information, the maximum wading depth of the Jeep Compass is 48 cm. Common tire specifications include 225/60R17 and 225/55R18, with a body height of 1635-1675 mm, a curb weight of 1430-1675 kg, and it is a five-door, five-seat SUV. The maximum wading depth refers to the deepest water a vehicle can safely pass through. Generally, the maximum wading depth for sedans does not exceed 30 cm, while SUVs can handle slightly deeper water, though it is still advisable not to exceed 50 cm. Among common models, the GAC Trumpchi GS8 has a maximum wading depth of 30 cm, the Audi A4 has 32 cm, the Volkswagen Sagitar has 30 cm, the Land Rover Range Rover has 90 cm, and the Toyota Highlander has 45 cm. SUVs clearly have a significantly greater wading depth than sedans. Generally, depending on the depth of the water and the vehicle's specifications, drivers should take different measures as follows: If the wading depth reaches the height of the exhaust pipe, it is still safe. Even if water enters the exhaust pipe, the pressure inside is sufficient to expel the water. As long as the engine is not turned off in the water, water will not flow back into the vehicle. If the wading depth reaches the height of the door frame, it becomes more dangerous. The vehicle's circuits, electronic components, and sensors are mostly concentrated at the bottom of the car, which could lead to short circuits, damaging critical electrical components and preventing the car from starting normally. If the wading depth reaches the height of the intake pipe, it is extremely dangerous. Driving directly into such conditions could cause the vehicle to stall immediately, resulting in permanent engine damage or rendering the engine unusable.
