Off-road driving program (Vehicles
without enhanced off-road package*)
The off-road driving program is designed to
assist the driver when driving off-road in
terrain and crossing water. The off-road
driving program adjusts the engine power
and shifting of the automatic transmission
to be more suitable for the off-road use of
the vehicle. In addition, the ABS, ESP
4-ETS designed for off-road use are
automatically activated.
In the following situations you should
switch to the off-road driving program:
during off-road driving
when crossing water ( page 360)
when towing up or down on steep
gradients
