Wade sensing
WADE SENSING CONTROLS
Wade sensing should not be used
during off-road driving as rapid
increases in water depth cannot be
detected in time to deliver a warning
message to the driver.
When entering water from a steep
gradient, the water level may rise
rapidly.
The Wade sensing system cannot
detect the true level of water if a layer
of ice or snow exists on the surface.
Parking aid will not operate when Wade
sensing is active.
The wade sensing sensors are located
on the underside of the exterior mirrors.
The sensors and the area below the
sensors must be kept clean and free
from snow, ice, mud and other debris.
Failure to keep the sensors clean may
result in sensor miscalculation.
If the exterior mirrors are in the fold
position, Wade sensing will operate but
will give false readings.
Note: The exterior mirrors must be in the
normal (unfolded) position when using the
Wade sensing system.
Wade sensing aids the driver while driving
through water. Wade sensing can be turned on
and off from the Touch screen 4x4i or Extra
Features menus. When selected, the Touch
screen will display current water depth and the
maximum wading depth. The system will warn
the driver as the maximum depth for wading
approaches. Warnings take the form of
messages on the Touch screen, the Instrument
panel, and a series of warning tones.
If system limitations are exceeded, the Touch
screen view will grey out and the water depth
will not be displayed.
Wade sensing is suspended if the vehicle's
speed exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph), or the
gradient exceeds 10°. Wade sensing will
automatically reactivate if the vehicle's speed
drops back down to 10 km/h (6 mph). If the
vehicle's speed exceeds 30 km/h (19 mph) for
30 seconds, Wade sensing will automatically
switch off.
