What is the wading depth of the Wuling Hongguang?
1 Answers
The maximum wading depth of the Wuling Hongguang is 300mm. The wading depth of the Wuling Hongguang is determined by the height of the vehicle chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the model's parameter configuration table. 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 Wuling Hongguang is lower than the water level during wading, water will be sucked into the engine's 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'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 vehicle from automatically restarting after stalling in the water, which could cause serious damage to the engine due to water intake; Based on the passage of the vehicle ahead, judge the underwater road conditions and choose a suitable entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow their tracks at low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration; On roads prone to water accumulation, observe warning water level markers, trees, and other reference points such as the wheels and doors of other vehicles to determine the water depth before deciding whether to proceed; Understand your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half the height of the tires or the engine's air intake, do not enter the water recklessly; choose another route instead.
