What is the wading depth of the Vezel?
1 Answers
The ideal wading depth of the Vezel is 73cm, with a safe wading depth around 60cm. It is not recommended to exceed 65cm. When the water depth reaches one-third of the tire height, you can pass through with confidence as long as you operate correctly, avoiding unnecessary damage. When the water depth exceeds half of the tire height, caution is required as this may lead to water entering the vehicle. If the wading depth surpasses the bumper, remain vigilant while driving to prevent water from entering the engine. There are three scenarios of waterlogged vehicles: water covering the exhaust pipe but not reaching half the wheel height, water just reaching half the wheel height, and water exceeding half the wheel height. Generally, water reaching half the wheel height can affect the vehicle. Below are the details: 1. Water covering the exhaust pipe: If water only covers the exhaust pipe, promptly move the vehicle away. Water covering the exhaust pipe will not be sucked back into the engine, and engine stalling is mainly due to water entering the engine's intake system, unrelated to the exhaust pipe being submerged. 2. Water just reaching half the wheel height: If water just reaches half the wheel height, the vehicle usually won't leak. However, if submerged for a long time with aging seals, leakage may occur. In such cases, drive the vehicle to a 4S shop, dismantle the interior, clean, and dry it. 3. Water exceeding half the wheel height: If water exceeds half the wheel height, the engine may take in water, and the interior may leak. Do not start the engine to avoid damage to the engine or electronic components. If the vehicle is waterlogged and starting causes damage, insurance will not cover the repairs.
