A vehicle having a system for determining that there is a possibility that the vehicle has entered or is about to enter water at a vehicle wading depth. The system comprising at least one under-body mounted sensor both configured to remotely and directly detect the presence of water substantially below and about the under-body mounted sensor. The under-body mounted sensor may be an ultrasound transducer sensor both configured to estimate a depth of water the surface of which is substantially below the sensor and to detect the presence of water when the sensor is in contact with water. In response to determining that there is a possibility that the vehicle has entered or is about to enter water at a vehicle wading depth, the system is configured to implement one or more vehicle control strategies.
