Driving advice
Your vehicle is designed principally to drive   on   tarmac   roads   but   it   allows   you  
t

o drive on other less passable terrain
occasionally.
However,
  it   does   not   permit   off-road  
d

riving   such   as:
-
 
c
rossing   and   driving   on   terrain  
w

hich   could   damage   the   underbody  
o

r   strip   away   components   (fuel  
p

ipe,   fuel   cooler...)   due   to   obstacles  
o

r stones in particular,
-
 
d
riving   on   terrain   with   steep  
g

radients   and   poor   grip,
-
 
c
rossing   a   stream.All terrain (mud, damp grass, ...)
This mode, when moving off, allows considerable spin on the wheel with the least
grip
  to   optimise   clearing   of   the   mud   and   regain  
g

rip.   At   the   same   time,   the   wheel   with   the   most  
g

rip   is   controlled   in   such   a   way   as   to   pass   as  
m

uch   torque   as   possible.
When
  moving,   the   system   optimises   wheel   spin  
t

o   respond   to   the   driver's   requirements   as   fully  
a

s   possible.
(mode
  active   up   to   50   mph   (80   km/h))

Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two driving wheels   at   the   same   time   to   allow   the   vehicle   to  
m

ove   for ward   and   limit   the   risks   of   getting   stuck  
i

n   the   sand.
(mode
  active   up   to   75   mph   (120   km/h))

lace   the   dial   in   this   position.
Do
  not   use   the   other   modes   on   sand   as   the  
v

ehicle   may   become   stuck. You can deactivate certain functions of the
ESC
  (ASR   and   DSC)   by   turning   the   dial   to   the  
"
O
FF
"   position.
These   functions   are   reactivated   automatically  
f

rom   30   mph   (50   km/h)   or   every   time   the  
i

gnition   is   switched   back   on.
