What is the wading depth of the CR-V?
1 Answers
The wading depth of the CR-V is 300mm. The wading depth of the CR-V is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the model's parameter configuration. Generally, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when driving through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, SUVs and off-road vehicles have obvious advantages. However, for most compact and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a reference when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake is below the water level when the CR-V is wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it will cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth must not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. The height of the air intake, and thus the maximum wading depth, can also be increased by installing a snorkel. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct procedures should be followed: Before driving through water, always turn off the auto start-stop function to prevent the engine from automatically restarting if the vehicle stalls in the water, which could lead to severe engine damage due to water ingestion. Assess the underwater road conditions based on the passage of vehicles ahead and choose an appropriate entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow their tracks at a low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration. On roads prone to water accumulation, use warning water level markers, trees, or the wheels and doors of other vehicles as reference points to estimate the water depth before deciding whether to proceed. Be aware of your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half of the tire height or the engine's air intake, do not attempt to drive through. Instead, choose an alternative route.
