If possible, drive through the ditch at an acute angle
The tilt angle may not get too large when driving through the ditch.
WARNING
Never drive through a ditch if the entry/exit angle is too steep for the vehicle and the ditch is too deep. The vehicle could slide away, tip over or
roll.
NOTICE
If you drive into the ditch at a right angle, the front wheels will fall in. The underbody of your vehicle could get stuck and damaged which means
that the vehicle could break down. It is then almost impossible to get out of the ditch despite having four-wheel drive.

Driving in sand and mud

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings
Always drive at a steady speed through sand or mud and, if you have a manual gearbox, do not change gear.
Check whether ESC is active. The indicator lamp
Keep the vehicle moving constantly.
Use off-road mode → 4MOTION Active Control
Select a suitable gear and remain in this gear until you have reached more solid ground
If the tyres have lost their grip, turn the steering wheel back and forth quickly. This can briefly give the tyres on the front wheels better grip for this
ground surface condition.

Driving in sand

Do not under any circumstances reduce the tyre pressure to drive through sand
through sand, the correct tyre pressure must always be reset before driving on. Driving with reduced tyre pressure can lead to a loss of control
over the vehicle and increase the risk of serious and fatal injuries.

Driving in mud

Do not change speed or direction. The tyres can lose their traction when driving through mud. If the vehicle slides, steer in the direction needed
to get the vehicle under control.
WARNING
Driving through mud, sand and slush can be dangerous. The vehicle can slide uncontrollably. This increases the risk of injury. Always drive
carefully through sand, mud and slush.
Never choose an unsafe route or take a risk which could endanger you or your passengers. If you are in any doubt about the safety of the
route, turn back and choose another route.
WARNING
Incorrect tyre pressure can cause severe or even fatal accidents.
Incorrect tyre pressures will increase the levels of wear on the tyres and will negatively affect the vehicle's driving response.
An incorrect tyre pressure can cause overheating, sudden tyre damage including tyre bursts and ripping of the tread surface and thus to a
loss of control over the vehicle.
