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
grip. At the same time, the wheel with the most
grip is controlled in such a way as to pass as
much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully
as possible.
(mode active up to 50 mph (80 km/h))F

P
lace the dial in this position.
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two driving
wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to
move for ward and limit the risks of getting stuck
in the sand.
(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))F

P
lace the dial in this position.
Do not use the other modes on sand as the
vehicle may become stuck. You can deactivate certain functions of the
ESC (ASR and DSC) by turning the dial to the
"
OFF " position.
These functions are reactivated automatically
from 30 mph (50 km/h) or every time the
ignition is switched back on.
Driving advice
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you
to drive on other less passable terrain
occasionally.
However, it does not permit off-road
driving such as:
-

c
rossing and driving on terrain
which could damage the underbody
or strip away components (fuel
pipe, fuel cooler...) due to obstacles
or stones in particular,
-

d
riving on terrain with steep
gradients and poor grip,
-

c
rossing a stream.
