when driving o-road, especially in soft sand terrain or wetland terrain that is easy to get stuck, drift, or
requires additional throttle to maintain a constant speed�
2� When driving off-road in complex or extreme surface conditions, reducing the tire pressure
appropriately can help for better operating control, ground holding, and stability�
3. Keep constant throttle opening during o-road driving and prevent abrupt throttle changes.
