and engine torque calibrated to
maximize performance. Maximum
performance is achieved if driver let
the engine rpm stall above 2300 rpm
before releasing brake pedal.
During the acceleration phase the

Off-Road Drive
This vehicle is equipped with a specific
Off Road driving mode which allows
to drive through various terrain
conditions (rock, mud, sand), also in
uphill and downhill, eventually in
condition of lateral inclination. To
set the "OFF ROAD" drive mode,
please see chapters “Drive Mode” and
“Setting Ride Height” in this section.
In order to enhance this specific
performance, the "OFF ROAD" drive
mode modifies the setting of:
• Ride height;
• Engine, transmission calibration;
• Suspensions.
When “OFF ROAD” is selected, ride
height is set to “Off Road 1” (vehicle
is higher by approx. 25 mm / 1 in). It
is possible to select ride height “Off
Road 2” (vehicle is raseid by approx.
40 mm / 1.5 in) using the ride height
selector.
“OFF ROAD” drive mode is limited up
to a max speed of 90 km/h (56 mph). In
case the vehicle speed should exceed
this limit, the drive mode will be de-
selected automatically and the drive
mode will return to “NORMAL”.
“Off Road 2” ride height is limited
instead up to a max speed of 40 km/h
(25 mph). In case the vehicle speed
should exceed this limit, ride height
will be put automatically to “Off Road
1” while driving mode will remain
“OFF ROAD”.
An advantage of the higher ground
clearance is a better view of the road,
allowing you to anticipate problems. A
higher clearance and the longer travel
of the suspension might allow the
vehicle to overcome some obstacles.
A higher ground clearance means
a higher center of gravity. If at all
possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt
manoeuvres.
Failure to operate this
vehicle correctly may result in loss of
control or vehicle rollover.
Although the pneumatic suspension
system contributes to limiting these
risks by setting precautionary speed
thresholds, the driver must always pay
utmost attention and drive carefully.
WARNING!
“Off Road 2” ride height must always
be selected in case of water fording.
Please remember water fording limits:
max depth of the water must be lower
than 50 cm (19 in) and crossing speed
lower than 8 km/h (5 mph).
In “OFF ROAD” drive mode, also
engine, transmission settings are
changed in order to provide the
