Warning!
ț
ț
In sandy soil, drive at a steady speed as

your vehicle’s clearance is sufficient. Otherwise:

your vehicle may be damaged
the underbody of the vehicle may come in
contact with the ground and you may get
stuck
Do not reduce the tire inflation pressure
before driving through sand. However, if you
do so, remember to correct the tire inflation
pressure (୴ page 396) before continuing
your trip. Driving with reduced tire inflation
pressure increases the risk of losing control
of the vehicle and rolling over.
Drive in tracks of other vehicles if they
are not too deep and you have suffi-
cient clearance.

Avoid high engine speeds.

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.
When driving on sand, observe the follow-
ing rules:
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.
