sis components if obstacles are traversed

your vehicle.

boulders or other obstacles with one of the
front wheels.
f Cross the obstacle with the rear wheel in the
same way.
Note on operation
f Activate Low Range and engage differential
locks if necessary.
Tips on driving
f Have your passenger direct you if necessary.
f Avoid high engine speeds (max. 2,500 rpm).
f Drive slowly.
Driving on sand
Note on operation
f Activate Low Range and engage differential
locks if necessary.
Tips on driving
Loose sand is an especially tricky surface for off-
road driving.
You can often become stuck in sand within
minutes if you do not drive correctly in such
situations.
f Drive at brisk pace and do not stop under any
circumstances. This will reduce the chance of
the car becoming bogged down.
f Follow existing tracks – provided that they
have not been covered by blown sand, are not
too deep and the car's ground clearance is
sufficient.
Pay attention to the ground clearance of the
car.
Please observe the chapter “GROUND CLEA-
RANCE” on Page 409.
f Avoid high engine speeds (max. 2,500 rpm).
