DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURFACES
(ice, snow, mud, wet grass)
• With the DIFF LOCK engaged, select the
highest gear possible.
• Drive away using the MINIMUM possible
throttle opening.
• Drive slowly at all times, keeping braking
to a minimum and avoiding violent
movements of the steering wheel.
• Disengage the DIFF LOCK as soon as a
non slippery surface is reached.
DRIVING ON ROUGH TRACKS
Although rough tracks can sometimes be
negotiated in normal drive, it is advisable to
lock the differential if excessive suspension
movement is likely to induce wheel spin.
On very rough tracks, engage LOW range to
enable a steady, low speed to be maintained
without constant use of the brake and clutch
pedals.
Always disengage the DIFF LOCK when
smooth, firm ground is reached.
