Off-road driving situations
Introduction
The examples described in this chapter are to be understood as general guidelines aimed to help the driver in driving safely on off-road terrain. These tips will not
necessarily apply to every possible situation that may occur. Before driving on unknown terrain, it is crucial to find out information about the condition of the terrain
ahead. You can assess potential dangers in advance. The driver is responsible for deciding whether their vehicle is suitable for the terrain ahead and if the terrain
can be driven on.
Driving off-road requires different skills and handling practices compared to driving on developed roads.
This vehicle is not designed for traveling with an “expedition driving style”.
With 4MOTION Active Control in a four-wheel drive vehicle, various vehicle tuning adjustment can be selected to the driver's preference ⇒ Selecting the driving
mode.
Switch off the driver assistance systems and parking systems when off-roading.
Checklist
The following steps should be taken before the first trip to operate and drive the vehicle safely off-road.
Observe the general safety precautions when driving off-road ⇒ Safety precautions for driving off-road.
Adjust the seating position so there is clear visibility in front of the vehicle and fasten safety belts ⇒ Seating position.
Always wear suitable and well-fitted footwear that gives the feet good traction on the pedals.
A responsible driver also treats nature with care when driving off-road. Driving over shrubs and meadows can destroy the habitats of animals and plants.
Leaking operating fluids resulting from vehicle damage can contaminate the environment. Catch any leaking operating fluids and dispose of them correctly
according to environmental regulations.
Take any suitable equipment with you for driving off-road.

WARNING
The intelligent vehicle technology cannot overcome the natural laws of physics and it can only operate within the limits of the system. When the condition of the
ground is poor, the wheels may lock and cause instability, despite the vehicle having ABS. For example, this could occur during hard braking on loose gravel.
Under these conditions, the ESC can only stabilize the vehicle to a limited extent.
WARNING
Driving off-road can be dangerous and can cause accidents, serious injuries, vehicle damage, and vehicle malfunctions far away from any assistance.
