SAFETY

Mud mode
Mode which, 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 re-
quirements as fully as possible.
Sand mode
Mode which allows little spin on the
two driving wheels at the same time to
allow the vehicle to move forward and
limit the risks of getting stuck in the
sand.
Driving advice
Your vehicle is designed princi-
pally to drive on tarmac roads
but it allows you to drive on other less
passable terrain occasionally.
However, it does not permit all-terrain
activities such as:


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

- driving on terrain with steep gra-
dients and poor grip,

- crossing a stream.
