Before starting a view of two measuring three caution

A: observation

   Most city owners car wading ability is poor, so don't risk(this is the most safe driving remind). If you must wade, must look at the depth of water, whether there are silt and obstacle; observed before the car through the route and speed, and determine whether or not the vehicle is through(in rainy days to complete the driver's occupation judgment actually is not realistic, so this is only from the theoretical analysis on the. If you insist on not adventure fording drive below, all the knowledge and skills are redundant).

   (don't see water conditions, driving is a "gambling", safety and no)Here are a few details for your reference:

   1, in general there are waves and vortex place is likely to have a larger stones or other obstacles;

   2, the water is quiet place water deeper;

   3, open water and breakers is relatively uniform, water is shallow and underwater for more than the stone, is the ideal route driving through the.

Two: Measurement

   Typically, determine whether to dangerous road area of water depth of two index:

   One is the water is dipped into the cabin floor or exhaust pipe;

   Two of water is more than tire line.

   (the actual operation off the decision is not generally feasible, careful observation is similar to their own car condition may be a good choice, of course premise is in front of a daring drivers are wading driving)If more than the above two criteria, it is easy to cause serious influence on vehicle engine system, computer parts.

Three: caution

   Here said the cautious, namely to tell the owners of friends, not your car to buy insurance or wading insurance, after wading in vehicles can get compensation, if the vehicle due to improper operation in the water caused the damage, the insurance company is not the claims, that we must pay attention to, our colleagues before this point in detail investigation and elaboration, hope you click on the following articles link to understand, here is not too much explanation. (such a good understanding: Car caustic danger should have been on the car loss happened on the payment of insurance, but the insurance company's position was found, the car wading after driving engine damage probability exceed its ability to pay, so the car caustic danger alone the not compensation, should be insured, the insurance company can continue to operate as separate damage; glass, tire damage alone, body scratch are some principle; the car caustic danger was all kinds of exception, how to understand only to look at the car caustic danger of exception clause)

Wade: a slow two. Three

A: running slower

   If the owners feel the depth of the water through, into the water must be slow into the water, must not be as rapid as usual into the car, otherwise(so the water and the resistance caused by driving instability)Very easy to cause the vehicle flameout. Here to explain is, if not careful driving vehicle flameout, the driver must not restart the engine.

   The principle is simple: because water is not compressed in the cylinder, so the water situation, once again forced ignition may cause valve piston connecting rod, crank deform, and cylinder if the water, then it will greatly reduce the lubrication of cylinder, wear a greater degree to re start the engine will the internal components, can even lead to serious engine scrap.

   So, if the vehicle encounters flameout in wading way, should be timely contact with the insurance company, 4S stores or vehicle rescue service center, and repair with a tow truck to regular repair point(not as long as the engine inlet car damage, caused by CDW is cost).The message here is that, there are individual owners were out in the car, in order to save money, just put the car an airing on the side of the road, seemingly vehicles have been dry on the ignition leave, in fact this is very wrong, because the residual water in the cylinder, it is difficult to through such dry drainage in the short term(as long as the engine inlet loss caused by car, if not to buy separate wading insurance, the insurance company is paid).

Two: smooth driving is very important

   Because the vehicle in through the water surface, the exhaust pressure is much smaller than the cylinder, as long as the engine off, water is not flowing into the exhaust pipe. The process of water, the owner should be low gears, hold the steering wheel and accelerator, keep the vehicle power, enough and stable to make smooth reading, avoid midway parking, shift, a sudden turn or the steering wheel sharply to. If the wheel slip or subsidence, don't step on the accelerator rushed over, shall be without killing the engine, from human or other vehicles under the assistance of water areas, the last point is particularly important(want to rely on the driving school didn't teach, usually without practicing driving through the water surface, the actual results are often should be the engine damage, they must want to know).

Three focus

   The process of water drivers to focus, attention should be paid to vehicles, pedestrians around the eyes and whether there are floating objects, without looking at the water so as not to disturb the sight.

   Finally, need to be supplemented and attention is: many cars Wade, not in the water, to wait before the car after landing, after the car go into the water, to prevent the front car parking to be in a nice hobble after car in the water(, but also as far as possible to avoid water between two cars caused by water waves over an overall increase of water).

After Wade: a step two check three clean

A: gently depress the brake pedal

   Out of the water surface, the vehicle should be a certain distance at low speed, and gently depress the brake pedal several times, the purpose of doing so is to let the brake pad and the brake disc friction, will be attached above the water evaporation and drying, so that the rapid recovery of the braking effect(this is used by the brake performance, wet road driving skills as soon as possible to restore disc brake drum brake principle of course does not have this skill).

Two: check the engine and vehicle

   Open the engine cover and check the engine operating conditions, check the radiator fin has no leaves or dirt, the tire is damaged, below the chassis has no plastic bags or wrapping dirty(in principle should be to the 4S store up to check equipment).

Three: the appropriate cleaning

   Proposal owner to 4S shops and auto beauty shop clean vehicles on the water, to prevent sand, leaves into the engine intake system, circuit and other parts damage caused by engine.

   Here I would like to emphasize that, parking in the rainy season is also need to pay attention to.

   Here mainly to say that some low-lying parking area, like most small underground garage, the individual mountain city hillside, the bottom of the hill, the parking lot, including some closed parking lot better city center lots, in the rainy season, these places are prone to water of the situation. So, if your long-term car park in such regions of the word, you should first do the inspection work, such as underground garage drainage facilities have a look your units or residential area is perfect, ask the security area has no emergency measures. If outdoor low-lying land, editing suggestions you in the rain to do not stop in this area, so once the water too deep cannot move, cause unnecessary losses(this is to remind, very good as long as you see a car for a variable reservoir results, if you want to reduce the cost of rights or the time, the best way is to advance the thought may be disasters).

Attached: heart of the compact car fording ability

We can often hear on the radio and some experts say: "want to make sure that your car is not in the water off, make sure the water can't no wheels half." But this is a general and conservative, there are many factors affecting the vehicle in the wading depth, according to the different models in quick sand slow water under the premise, there is also a difference in maximum fording depth, the wading depth in this paper will explore the compact car is up to deep.

FAW Pentium Pentium B50

"I want to know: I had to go? "

First we look at May this year, the independent brand compact car Pentium B50. The car is equipped with standard 195/65 R15 tyre, measured in expert half a wheel in the height of 30cm, it certainly is if the water depth also did not reach this height, the Pentium B50 is absolutely no threat. The wading depth but the Pentium B50 That's it?

Let us look at the height of the exhaust pipe, visual inspection can be seen the Pentium B50 chassis is relatively low, and the exhaust pipe from the ground only 26cm (more than half a wheel is a little low). But no need to worry, because the exhaust pressure generated when the engine works great, influence factors and internal structure of the exhaust pipe, exhaust port height does not have too much restriction on the wading depth, but if the exhaust pipe not into the water, exhaust certainly engine will not smooth, the need to increase the throttle to ensure the engine work smoothly.

Then we measured the Pentium B50 cockpit low height, the distance of 35.5cm. Assuming the water depth over here, inside there may be water, but it also depends on the car door seal of quality as well as the specific depth. But in fact, even if there is leakage at most only passengers in the car will get wet shoes and socks, does not represent the depth of such vehicles can not pass.

So what the standard is a major factor in the decision to allow the wading depth? For most cars, engine, gearbox, generator of these key components of immersion in short time all can work normally in the water, the highest point and the battery positive and negative are usually in the engine compartment, and most of the models have the appropriate protection measures, so the battery level is not the main determinant. But the engine intake is absolutely can not be the water not too, if there was inundated with water, not only the vehicle immediately flameout, I'm afraid the engine may be scrapped. The Pentium B50 engine inlet height is 44.5cm, all B50 owners don't make water beyond the scale line.
