What is the wading depth of the Hongguang Mini?
1 Answers
The wading depth of the Hongguang Mini is 125mm. The wading depth of the Hongguang Mini is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the model's parameter configuration table. Generally, 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, off-road vehicles and SUVs 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 benchmark when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake of the Hongguang Mini is below the water level while 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 engine's 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 operations should be performed: Before the vehicle enters the water, the auto start-stop function must be turned off to prevent the engine from automatically restarting after stalling in the water, which could cause severe damage due to water intake; Assess the underwater road conditions based on the passage of preceding vehicles and choose an appropriate entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow it at low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration; For roads prone to water accumulation, observe warning water level markers, trees, or other vehicles' wheels and doors as reference points to judge the water depth before deciding whether to proceed; Know your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half the tire height or the engine's air intake, do not enter the water recklessly; choose an alternative route instead.
