—Volkswagen recommends never driving offroad alone. You should drive offroad with at least two offroad vehicles driving as a team.
Unexpected situations can always occur. We recommend that you carry equipment you can use for calling for help.
—Stop your vehicle when you reach difficult sections and check the route ahead on foot.
—Drive slowly over the crests of hills so the vehicle does not lose contact with the ground, become damaged and possibly leave you
unable to manoeuvre.
—Drive slowly when the route is difficult. Shift up a gear when on slippery ground and always keep the vehicle in motion.
—The ground is predominantly soft when driving offroad meaning the tyres could sink into the ground. This will reduce ground
clearance and the wading depth. If possible, always drive on flat and firm ground.
—Even when driving at low speeds, always keep your distance from other vehicles. If the first vehicle suddenly gets stuck, the
following vehicle can stop without getting stuck.
NOTICE
If the bottom of the vehicle contacts the ground, this can cause serious damage to the vehicle underbody. This damage could cause
the vehicle to break down and thus make it impossible to drive on.
● Always make sure that there is enough ground clearance underneath the vehicle.
