. How to drive in all-road?
The cross-country performances of this category of vehicle with a gross vehicle
weight (GVW) that can reach 2.95-T are particularly influenced by:
The load carried, its distribution, and how it is secured
The adhesion available
The nature of the ground
The wear and type of tyres
The ABS system:
Your vehicle is equipped with an ABS system. The aim of this recognised safety
equipment is to avoid the wheels blocking according to the adhesion available and to
enable you to retain control the trajectory of the vehicle, particularly in the case of
emergency braking.
ABS when adhesion is poor:
If in road use the intervention of the anti-locking system is comparable between
2WD and 4WD versions, a 4 wheel drive vehicle enables you to drive on terrain
where a 2 wheel drive version, even an improved version, would not be able to cope.
Thus on ground with poor adhesion (snow…) or a bumpy road, the anti-locking
action can increase stopping distances.
In all cases of cross-country use and when the conditions of adhesion become
precarious:
Drive slowly and without jerking, in other words drive gently
Adapt your speed so that you can negotiate bends and downwards
slopes serenely
Anticipate your braking taking account of the considerable increase in
stopping distances
Note: NB: The regulation does not authorise the temporary de-activation of the anti-
locking system, so it is therefore completely forbidden to add a device allowing it to
be deactivated on demand.
