Driving on all-roads?
The all-road performance of this vehicle category (gross vehicle weight
“G.V.W” of up
to 2.2 tons) is influenced by:
The transported weight, its distribution stowage.
The available traction.
The type of ground.
Wear and type of tyres.
When driving on unpaved roads or when traction becomes precarious:
Drive gently and without jerks for a smooth drive.
Moderate your speed to calmly negotiate a turning or a descent.
Anticipate braking actions by taking into account that stopping distances willbe
significantly longer.
Driving with a trailer?
Under all-roads conditions, when you pull a trailer, you must take into account that:
The trailer is not necessarily suited for all-road usage.
Selection of parking place is important for re-starting easily.
The weight of the trailer and its load will influence the behaviour and the
trajectory of your vehicle. Try to anticipate.
Check the coupling torque of the hitch assembly at 1000 km
see
coupling instructions.
Fording?
Fording is limited in depth to the radius of the wheels (310 mm) and must remain
an exception.
How to cross an obstacle?
To cross an obstacle (low ditches, step, etc.) we advice you to:
First of all avoid taking it front on.
As far as possible, approach it at an angle.
One wheel after the other.
and release the accelerator before the obstacle.
