Driving through flood water can seriously damage the car.
Caution:Never drive through water deeper than the wheel rims.
- The PHEV emergency guide adds: the water must not reach the lower edge of the body, and never drive where it's more than half the tyre height. Turn off the A/C, slow down and cross slowly with a light, steady throttle.
- If water has come above the door sills, it may have reached high-voltage parts. Have the car checked by an authorised Jaecoo service centre promptly.
- Super Hybrid (SHS-P) only
Caution:Water getting into the engine can make it stall or cause serious internal damage.
Caution:Water can wash grease out of the wheel bearings, causing rust and early wear.
Caution:Water can damage drivetrain parts. Afterwards, check for leaking fluids (engine oil, transmission fluid, etc.). If anything is leaking, don't drive on.
Caution:Grip and braking are reduced in water and stopping distances increase. Sand and mud around the discs can reduce braking and damage the brakes. Afterwards, press the brake gently several times to dry them.
