1 Answers
According to official information, the maximum wading depth of the Mercedes-Benz GLC is 400mm. Common tire specifications include 235/55R19 and 255/45R20, with a vehicle height of 1642mm, making it a 5-door, 5-seat SUV. The maximum wading depth refers to the deepest water level a vehicle can safely pass through. Generally, the maximum wading depth for sedans does not exceed 300mm, while SUVs can handle slightly deeper water, though it's best not to exceed 500mm. Among common models, the GAC Trumpchi GS8 has a maximum wading depth of 700mm, the Audi A4 has 320mm, the Volkswagen Sagitar has 700mm, the Land Rover Range Rover has 900mm, the Jeep Compass has 800mm, and the Highlander has 455mm. SUVs generally have higher wading depths than sedans. After driving through water, vehicle owners can take the following measures: Drive through the flooded area at low speed; first gear is sufficient. During the drive, apply the brakes several times to allow continuous braking, which helps evaporate moisture from the brake pads and ensures safe braking performance. If the vehicle stalls immediately after wading, try to push it out of the water or wait for assistance. Do not restart the engine, as this could allow water to enter the engine cylinders. The high pressure of water can cause severe damage to the piston rods and crankshaft, rendering the engine unusable.
