WARNING
Once there is a warning, please release
the accelerator pedal immediately,
otherwise the front wheels will be stuck
and you can only wait for rescue.
NOTE
Please select the appropriate off-road
mode according to the actual terrain. Do
not select the off-road mode on flat roads,
otherwise the following situations will occur:
● When turning, you will feel jitter and a
strong sense of resistance, which will
increase fuel consumption and tire wear.
● Due to the improvement of off-road
performance in off-road modes, the
calibration parameters of each system
are more radical. On flat roads, you
need to drive the vehicle carefully to
avoid losing control of the vehicle due to
violent driving.
