even in slippery road conditions, such as mud or
snow, including uphill and
downhill. You can activate the
system when the vehicle speed is
less than 12 mph. If the vehicle
speed reaches 25 mph, the

and road surface are visible.
• DEEP SNOW/MUD provides maximum torque from the engine

vehicle to free itself more effectively. It is suitable for driving on
roads where the tires can become buried, such as deep snow, dry
sand, or muddy roads.
