DRIVING
Off road driving
The Captiva has not been designed as a full off road vehicle. The requirement to
maintain a very high degree of comfort, ride, handling and stability dictates the ground
clearance and may not be sufcient to allow the vehicle to be driven over very severe
four wheel drive tracks.
To achieve a high degree of unsealed road capability, the vehicle is equipped with
a fully automatic all wheel drive system, increased ground clearance and a traction
control system.
Road conditions
The vehicle is capable of being driven over poorer roads, although extra care must be
taken when driving in conditions that may not be familiar. Some roads are often not
well maintained and may have washaways, loose or slippery patches, rocks, fallen tree
branches, deep pot holes or ditches that can catch out the unwary driver. These roads
must be driven at slow speed and with great caution.
It is highly advisable to travel with another vehicle when travelling on remote or poor
quality roads.
