What is the wading depth of the Sagitar?
1 Answers
The maximum wading depth of the Sagitar is 300mm. The wading depth of the Sagitar is determined by the height of the vehicle chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the model's parameter configuration. 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 cars 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 Sagitar is lower than the water level when wading, water will be sucked into the engine cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it will cause serious damage to the engine's mechanical structure (connecting rods, pistons, crankshaft, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth should not exceed the height of the engine air intake. The height of the engine air intake, and thus the maximum wading depth, can also be increased by installing a wading snorkel. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before the vehicle wades, the auto start-stop must be turned off to prevent the vehicle from automatically restarting after stalling in water, which could cause serious damage to the engine due to water intake; Judge the underwater road conditions based on the passage of the vehicle ahead and choose a suitable entry point. Observe the path of 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 determine the water depth before deciding whether to continue driving; Understand the safe wading depth of your vehicle. If the water depth exceeds half of the tire height or the engine air intake, do not enter the water rashly and choose another route instead.
