▌Function of recovery mode
& WARNING Risk of injury due to the vehicle
moving up and down
During recovery mode, the vehicle moves up
and down and can cause injuries.

the vehicle.
* NOTE Risk of damage due to the vehicle
moving up and down
When recovery mode is activated, the vehicle
suspension automatically moves in and out

Make sure there is sufficient ground

Driving and parking 403
Recovery mode is a function of the suspension
which can assist the driver on loose surfaces (e.g.
sand, snow) when freeing a vehicle which has
become stuck.
The vehicle body rocks in slow, vertical motions
when recovery mode has been activated. This
temporarily puts the wheels under greater load,
which means they have increased traction and the
vehicle is freed.
You can activate free driving mode via Off-road
Assist ( page 407).
