What is the wading depth of the Coaster?
1 Answers
The maximum wading depth of the Coaster is 400mm. The wading depth of the Coaster is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the vehicle's parameter configuration table. Generally speaking, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when passing through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, the advantages of off-road vehicles and SUVs are obvious. However, for most compact and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a benchmark when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake is below the water level when the Coaster is wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it will cause serious damage to the engine's mechanical structure (connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth should not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. The height of the engine's air intake, and thus the maximum wading depth, can also be increased by installing a snorkel. If wading is necessary, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before the vehicle enters the water, the auto start-stop function must be turned off to prevent the vehicle from automatically restarting after stalling in the water, which could cause serious damage due to water entering the engine. Judge the underwater road conditions based on the passage of the vehicle ahead and choose the entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow their tracks at low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration. For roads prone to waterlogging, observe warning water level markers, trees, and reference points such as the wheels and doors of other vehicles to judge the water depth before deciding whether to continue driving. Understand your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half of the tire height or the engine's air intake, do not enter the water recklessly; choose another route instead.
