What is the wading depth?

[McLila]

For ordinary cars, the height of the exhaust pipe from the ground is 20 to 30 centimeters, which is also the wading depth of the car. For SUV models, wading up to 60 centimeters is generally not a problem. Here are the methods to deal with a water-soaked car: 1. Slow down or stop: When encountering uncertain water depth, brake immediately without hesitation while driving. Stop and observe the waterline when trucks or large vehicles pass to determine if you can continue driving. 2. Maintain slow and steady speed without stopping: If the vehicle has already entered a deep water section, stay calm, keep the throttle steady, and control the speed to avoid going too fast. Avoid shifting gears or stopping during this time and try to leave the area as quickly as possible. 3. Post-disaster precautions: Even if the vehicle does not appear severely damaged, it is essential to have it inspected at a repair shop to prevent hidden hazards caused by water damage. After the weather clears, open the car doors and place the vehicle in the sun with a fan blowing nearby to effectively speed up the drying process. Airflow can also help prevent mold growth.
