When viewing the side of a vehicle, the angle of approach is the angle between the ground and a line running from the front tire to the low est-hanging component directly ahead (which is usually the front bumper). The intensity of this angle gives an indication of how steep a ramp can the vehicle negotiate without suffering damage to its undercarriage.
