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 must
be kept clean and free from snow,
ice, mud and other debris. Failure
to keep them clean may result in
sensor miscalculation.
If the exterior mirrors are in the fold
position, Wade sensing will operate
but will give false information.
Wade sensing aids the driver while driving
through water. To display Wade sensing
on the Touch screen, select Extra
features, and then select Wade Sensing.
When selected, the Touch screen displays
the current water depth and the maximum
wading depth. The system displays a
warning as the maximum wading depth
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 greys out and the water
depth is no longer displayed.
Wade sensing is suspended when the
vehicle's speed exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph),
or the gradient exceeds 10°. Wade
sensing automatically reactivates when
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 automatically switches off.
Note: The exterior mirrors must be in the
normal (unfolded) position when using the
Wade sensing system.
Note: Wade sensing will not operate if
the vehicle is fitted with fixed side steps.
However, the system does operate with
fixed side tubes.
Note: The Parking aid, Park assist and
Intelligent stop/start systems are all
disabled when Wade sensing is operating.
