Wade Sensing System

The wade sensing feature is designed to aid the driver to calculate the current depth while driving through water. The Touchscreen (TS) displays the current detected water level and the vehicle's maximum wading depth.

The Parking Assist Control Module (PAM) hosts the software to deliver the wade sensing functionality using 2 downward facing ultrasonic sensors mounted in the door mirrors. The sensors connect to the PAM and measure the distance to the water surface. From this measurement, the PAM can calculate the depth of the water through which the vehicle is travelling.
