Avoid high engine speeds.
Select the gear range on the automatic
transmission that is appropriate for the
terrain.

Select gear range 1 on the automatic
transmission (୴ page 187).
Check that the ruts are not too deep
and your vehicle’s clearance is suffi-
cient. Otherwise:

Check the vehicle clearance before
crossing obstacles.
ț
ț
In sandy soil, drive at a steady speed as
allowed by conditions. This helps over-
come the vehicle rolling resistance and
reduce the likelihood of the vehicle
sinking into the ground.
ț
ț
your vehicle may be damaged.
Cross obstacles (e.g. tree stumps or
big rocks) very slowly by aiming one of
the front wheels at the center of the ob-
stacle, and repeat same with the rear
wheel.
the underbody of the vehicle may
come in contact with the ground
and you may get stuck.
Drive in tracks of other vehicles if they
are not too deep and if you have suffi-
cient clearance.
ț
ț
Avoid high engine speeds.
!
Special attention is needed when you
cross obstacles on a steep incline.
Select gear range 1 on the automatic
transmission (୴ page 187).
Ruts
ț
ț
Drive next to the ruts rather than
through them if at all possible.
A number of off-road tracks or other by-
ways have deep ruts which can cause the
underbody to come in contact with the
ground.
The vehicle could slide sideways as a
result of its possible slanted position
which in turn may result in the vehicle
tipping or rolling over.
If the ruts are too deep to drive in, drive
with one side of the vehicle on the
grassy center strip if the route permits.
