Driving safely



"GRIP CONTROL"

The accelerator pedal must be pressed
enough for there to be adequate
engine power to manage the various
parameters in the best way. On snow, mud and sand, traction
control is obtained by a compromise
between safety, grip and traction,
which is associated with the Michelin
®
Latitude Tour HP M+S tyres.
It adapts to allows most conditions of
poor grip to be accommodated.












Correct use
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you
to drive on other less passable terrain
occasionally.
However, particularly when your
vehicle is heavily laden, it does not
permit off-road activities such as:


- crossing and driving on ground
which could damage the underbody
or tear off components (fuel pipe,
fuel cooler, ...), particularly by
obstacles or stones,

- driving on ground with steep
gradients and poor grip,

- crossing a stream.
