Off-Road Drive

This vehicle is equipped with a specific
Off Road driving mode which allows to
drive through various terrain conditions
(rock, mud, sand), also in uphill and
downhill, eventually in condition of
lateral inclination. To set the "OFF ROAD"
drive mode, please see chapters "Drive
Mode" and "Setting Ride Height" in this
section.
An advantage of the higher ground
clearance is a better view of the road,
allowing you to anticipate problems. A
higher clearance and the longer travel of
the suspension might allow the vehicle
to overcome some obstacles.
A higher ground clearance means a
higher centre of gravity. If at all possible,
avoid sharp turns or abrupt manoeuvres.
Failure to operate this vehicle correctly
may result in loss of control or vehicle
rollover.
Although the pneumatic suspension
system contributes to limiting these
risks by setting precautionary speed
thresholds, the driver must always pay
utmost attention and drive carefully.
Starting and Driving
WARNING!
"Off Road 2" ride height must always be
selected in case of water fording. Please
remember water fording limits: max
depth of the water must be lower than
50 cm (19 in) and crossing speed lower
than 8 km/h (5 mph).
In "OFF ROAD" drive mode, also engine,
transmission settings are changed in
order to provide the most suitable level
of torque and selected gear to improve
traction on low-adherence condition and
uphill climbing.
WARNING!
In case of downhill, the use of the Hill
Descent Control (HDC) is recommended,
especially for relevant slope and in case
of low-adherence conditions.
Also suspensions (Skyhook Continuous
Damping Control) are set to a specific
calibration in "OFF ROAD" drive mode,
in order to obtain the right damping
force provided by the shock absorbers,
combined with the increased ride
heights "Off Road 1" and "Off Road 2".
Driving Through Water
Set maximum ride height "Off Road 2"
before driving through water.
