Characteristics
The vehicle's own understeering and oversteer‐
ing characteristics are accentuated. This allows
a more active driving style to be adopted.
Select drive program B in good road condi‐
tions, for example on dry roads and clear
stretches of road.
These drive programs assist you when driving
off-road.
Select the F drive program for easily nego‐
tiable off-road terrain, e.g. dirt tracks, gravel or
sandy surfaces.
Select the G drive program for rough terrain,
e.g. for steep and/or uneven terrain or for driv‐
ing on rocky terrain.
