Two or more sensors positioned at a wheel of a stopped vehicle may detect an unwanted substance, and transmit signals, based on which a height level of the substance is determined. The system may also determine a type of the substance, such as water, snow, sand or mud, based on electrical resistance of the substance detected by the sensors. Cameras or other imaging equipment, including LIDAR, may also be used to determine the substance height and/or composition. Accordingly, actions to protect the vehicle may be taken, such as raising or lowering the ride height of the vehicle body using an adjustable suspension of the vehicle. Other protective actions may include closing vents, seals, valves and battery isolation units, and transmitting messages to a vehicle driver and/or to emergency personnel.
