How deep can a car be? How to cross the place where the car crosses the deep water

Judgment of the wading depth of the car: when the car wades through the water, pay attention to the height of the water depth, when the height of the water is located at one-third of the height of the tire, it can still pass safely, as long as you operate correctly, it will not cause unnecessary losses.

If the height of the wading is more than half the height of the tire, do not pass, because in this case, the engine air intake and the interior of the car can easily enter the water, which will cause unnecessary damage. If the wading depth exceeds the bumper, you should be vigilant when driving to avoid water ingress into the engine.

Keep it simple :

There are three sections: exhaust port, air intake, and middle section.

1. The water depth is below the exhaust pipe, which is absolutely safe and can be walked casually.

2. The water depth is in the middle section (above the exhaust, below the intake), be cautious, do not understand the performance of the car or novices are better not to pass, but experienced "old drivers" may still pass safely.

3. The water depth exceeds the intake pipe, and it must not be passable, so turn off the fire in situ and wait for the rescue, and must not start the second ignition, otherwise the "engine" must be overhauled, and the insurance is not guaranteed.

When driving through a place where the water is relatively deep, it is necessary to hang into the Xiangchun low-speed gear, generally use 2nd gear, and stabilize the throttle to pass slowly. If the engine is turned off in the process of passing, you must get out of the car and do not ignite it twice, otherwise it will damage the engine and even cause the engine axle stove to be scrapped. If the water is higher than the air intake, the engine may suck in water, which can cause the engine to stall.

In the process of driving, encountered the waterlogged road, first of all, to observe the depth of the water, overflowing the axle is not suitable to continue to move forward, before entering the water, we must pay attention to the vehicle in front of the vehicle to maintain a large distance, for the unfamiliar road section in front of you must follow the route of the car in front, follow behind, when driving into the water, you must use a low speed gear, smooth fuel supply, move forward at a slower speed at a constant speed, do not stop in the water.

Remember to drive smoothly into the water to avoid bombarding the throttle, to prevent sparks from splashing into the engine and turn off, to stabilize the throttle while driving, and to avoid shifting gears on the way through the water to avoid shifting, stopping, turning, etc., if you find that there is flow in the water when driving, the wheels are slippery, and you must stop immediately at this time.

Don't force it through, and push the car out by rickshaw without the engine going off, don't sink deeper and deeper. In addition, do not immediately go high speed after crossing the deep water road, be sure to step on the brakes several times during driving, and let the brake pads dry when you stop, so that you can effectively brake and be able to go on the road safely.

The average car usually does not wade more than 20 centimeters into the water, and some low-lying models do not even exceed 15 centimeters. The water level can be visually measured to the height of the body part to determine if it is possible to wade through.

The correct way to wade in the water ensures that the vehicle is driving at a low speed and is checked at any time. According to the depth of waterlogging, manual transmission models should try to use first gear, stabilize the throttle and pass smoothly, and automatic transmission should also try to put into forced low gear or snow mode, increase vehicle torque while preventing tires from skidding, and try to avoid violent driving actions and stops halfway. After the water is discharged, brake several times in a row to quickly evaporate the moisture of the brake disc to ensure the braking performance of the vehicle.

If the vehicle wades through water while driving and gets into the water, be sure to stay calm, turn off the ignition immediately, and do not try to start the engine again, because this will cause great damage to the engine, and the insurance company will not compensate. Then, remove the negative pole wire of the front battery of Hengyou as soon as possible to avoid short circuits caused by water ingress and various electrical appliances on the car. Then call a tow truck and apply for insurance.

The depth of a car in the water varies from car to car. Because the exhaust port is lower than the intake, the location of the reference exhaust pipe is very safe. As soon as the water depth exceeds the height of the vents, the probability of the vehicle stalling increases.

The exhaust hole of an ordinary car is 20 to 30 centimeters above the ground, and the SUV model is 30 to 40 centimeters, and as long as the water does not exceed two-thirds of the tire height, the owner can drive with confidence. When the water depth reaches one-third of the height of the tire, it is safe to pass. Be careful when the water depth is more than half the height of the tire, as it is easy to cause water to accumulate in the car.

If you wade deeper than the bumper, you should be vigilant when driving to avoid water ingress into the engine. If the engine of the car gets into the water, do not start the car again, otherwise it will cause great damage to the car brother.

Car wading precautions:

1.It's best to turn off the null key.

When the vehicle is turned on, the electronic fan in front of the vehicle will rotate frequently, and the fan blades that rotate when wading will stir up some water mist, which may cause water into the engine, so try to turn off the air when wading, and wait until the electronic fan is turned off before entering the wading section.

2.When crossing the water, speed up when you encounter the opposite direction.

When wading in the water, if there is a meeting car on the opposite side, be sure to pay attention to the height of the water wave in front of his car. If the water wave is too high, it needs to be accelerated appropriately. The reason is that the water waves generated by yourself can be used to alleviate the water waves stirred up by the oncoming car. In this case, be sure not to panic or brake.

3.It is best to turn off all electrical equipment when wading through water.

Before wading into the water, all on-board electrical equipment, such as empty open dust lapper, radio, dash cam, lighter, etc. , should be shut down to prevent the electrical equipment from slipping short due to power failure caused by water ingress.

4.If the wading height exceeds the chassis, will the gearbox get water?

During driving, there is pressure inside the gearbox, so under normal circumstances, when wading in water, the gearbox will not enter the water. However, if the vehicle is soaked in water for a long time after the engine is turned off, it is necessary to check the transmission oil for deterioration or water ingress. @2019

How deep a car can wade through water varies from car to car. Since the exhaust port is lower than the intake inlet, the position of the reference exhaust cylinder is very secure. As soon as the water depth exceeds the height of the exhaust cylinder, the probability of the vehicle stalling increases.

The height of the exhaust vent from the ground is 20 to 30 centimeters for ordinary cars and 30 to 40 centimeters for SUV models.

As the name suggests, vehicle wading refers to the vehicle driving on a low-lying and waterlogged road and passing in the water. It usually occurs in rainy weather, and the lack of drainage equipment leads to waterlogged roads in low-lying areas.

Before driving into the water, you should pay attention to observe the depth, flow direction and speed of the water, and judge whether there are obstacles such as silt and quicksand under the water. Before wading, the distributor and high-voltage wire are also bandaged with plastic sheets. Pay attention to the route and speed of the vehicle in front of you, and use this to observe the depth of water accumulation to determine whether your vehicle can pass.

For hard roads to drive slowly into the water in low gear, you should stabilize the steering wheel while driving, and at the same time stabilize the throttle to keep the car has enough power to dismantle and swim steadily.

Pass in one go, and try to avoid stops, gear changes, or sharp turns. Pay special attention to the mud and sand on the underwater road. If you find that the wheels are slipping or sinking, do not slam the accelerator pedal and rush the car, and drive out of the water area with the assistance of manpower or other vehicles without turning off the engine of the open pin.

Since the water pressure is much smaller than the exhaust pressure of the cylinder, as long as the vehicle does not turn off, the stagnant water will not back up. (Photo by Chen Jie 2).
