I'm quite into studying cars in my spare time. The official wading depth for the WEY VV5 is around 300mm, which is about half the height of its tires. The chassis design takes some practicality into consideration, with the air intake positioned relatively low in the engine bay. If the water depth exceeds 300mm, water can easily enter the engine, causing ignition failure or cylinder damage. When driving through water, remember to maintain a slow and steady speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or braking to prevent water from flowing back into the engine. On related topics, it's important to check tire wear and the condition of the chassis sealing rings before driving in rainy weather to avoid exacerbating potential issues. The VV5 is suitable for small urban puddles during commutes, but don't treat it like a hardcore off-road vehicle and take it river wading—repair costs can be shockingly high. I've seen fellow car enthusiasts overlook this and end up spending tens of thousands on major engine repairs.

I've been driving the WEY VV5 for over a year and encountered several waterlogged sections. It performs well when the water depth is between 200-300mm, passing through smoothly; however, once exceeding 300mm, the car noticeably bumps with a risk of stalling. Based on experience, I recommend visually estimating that the water depth doesn't exceed the center of the wheel hub—if unsure, take a detour. When wading, maintain steady throttle for uniform progress, and after passing through, check the battery terminals and air filter for any moisture residue. Additionally, pay extra attention to the oxidation of undercarriage wiring during humid weather, as it affects the vehicle's lifespan. Overall, the VV5 isn't designed for deep water, so staying cautious ensures safety and saves money.

Water fording is a safety concern, and the WEY VV5 can handle standard water depths up to 300mm. Exceeding this depth may lead to engine water ingress and damage, resulting in costly repairs and even a risk of spontaneous combustion. Avoid recklessly driving through deep water areas. If you must traverse water, monitor the dashboard for error alerts and promptly visit a 4S dealership for inspection. The vehicle's water fording capability is affected by its weight and seasonal conditions, with deeper summer water posing greater risks. For maintenance, regularly check the underbody's anti-rust coating to prevent unexpected issues.

Drive Fast or Slow Through Water?

When driving through water, it is advisable to proceed slowly. A water surface that is originally very calm can create waves when a car passes through quickly due to the power. If the waves enter the engine through the intake, it can easily cause the car to stall or fail to start normally. Below are detailed explanations: 1. Explanation one: If the water level exceeds half of the tire, the owner should remove the key, close the windows tightly to prevent water from entering the car, and call for rescue as soon as possible. 2. Explanation two: When driving at night in rainy conditions, to prevent the headlights from creating a dazzling light curtain, turn off the headlights and use fog lights instead, while further reducing the speed.

What Does the Triangle with an Exclamation Mark Mean?

A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's regular performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, and engine oil pressure sensor failure. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. The exclamation mark is a common fault indicator in vehicles. Besides the triangle with an exclamation mark, there are four other forms of exclamation mark warnings: a yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside, a red circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle, a yellow bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle, and a yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission malfunction or transmission lubricant level below the normal range. The transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Brake System Fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating brake system failure or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Tire Pressure Anomaly: A bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle is the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in the vehicle's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the issue.

What is the Trident car?

The trident is the emblem of Maserati. Maserati is an Italian luxury car manufacturer, and today's new Maserati coupe series embodies Italy's top coupe manufacturing technology, as well as the perfect combination of Italian design aesthetics and high-quality craftsmanship design thinking. Origin of the name: The name originates from an ordinary family in Voghera, Italy, where train driver Rodolfo Maserati and his wife raised six boys: Carlo, Bindo, Alfieri, Ettore, Ernesto, and Mario. All six children participated in promoting the construction and development of the now world-famous Maserati sports car brand. Brand history: The first Maserati car adorned with the trident emblem appeared in the Targa Florio race on April 25, 1926. Driven by Alfieri, this Maserati Tipo 26 car was entirely designed and manufactured by the Maserati brothers, featuring a 1.5-liter inline eight-cylinder engine with a top speed of 100 mph. Alfieri's younger brother Mario designed the miniature emblem as a trident placed on a leaf-shaped base, inspired by the city emblem of Bologna, where the company was located—Neptune, the sea god, holding his mighty weapon, the trident, symbolizing the tremendous impact Maserati would make upon its debut. On its first appearance, Maserati won the Targa Florio race. Later, as the Type 26 achieved consecutive victories in various competitions, Maserati began considering the production of racing cars. Over the next decade, Maserati successively introduced classic models such as the Tipo 26B, Maserati V4, Maserati 4CTR, and Maserati 4CL, winning races like the 'Italian GP' and 'Tripoli GP' through the perfect combination of performance and quality.

What are the reasons for the SCR fault light to illuminate?

SCR fault light illuminates due to component issues, including insufficient urea quantity, nitrogen oxide sensor failure, urea nozzle malfunction, urea nozzle blockage, urea pump fault light, etc. Relevant introduction to common dashboard indicators is as follows: 1. Engine self-check indicator light: Every time the vehicle is started, an icon will appear in the middle of the dashboard and automatically turn off after a few seconds. After the self-check is completed, the corresponding icon will go out, while the icon indicating a fault will remain lit, alerting the driver. 2. Engine oil pressure indicator light: The engine oil pressure indicator light will illuminate when the vehicle is started. If the oil pressure is normal, it will subsequently turn off. If there is an abnormality in the oil pressure, it will remain lit. At this time, further inspection of the vehicle is required to troubleshoot the fault.
