Off-road driving
Before driving off-road
Some items should be observed
before driving off-road. For example:
■ Be sure that all repair and
maintenance services have been
performed.

specified in technical data chapter.
■ Check fluid levels as specified in
vehicle care chapter.
After driving off-road
Remove all material packed in the
vehicle lower end, chassis or under
the engine bonnet. This may be a fire
hazard. After driving over mud or
sand, clean and check the brake
linings.

abnormal braking and glazed linings.

suspension, wheels, tyres, exhaust
system, fuel lines and cooling system.

demand more frequency
maintenance.
Be familiar with the off-road
driving
Before starting any trip, it is advisable
to practise in an area which is safe
and near by. The off-road driving
requires some new and different
abilities, such as; Be aware of the
types of different signs. Your vision,
for example, should constantly
observe the ground for unexpected
restrictions. Try to hear uncommon
noises from tyres and engine.
Your arms, feet and body should
answer to the vibrations and motion
coming from the vehicle. The vehicle
control is the main factor of good off-
road drive. A better way to control the
vehicle is to control the speed. There
are some points that must be
observed. At high speeds:
■ You get closer to objects more
quickly and have less time to
observe the ground restrictions.
■ You have less time to react.
■ The vehicle swings more when
being driven over obstacles.
■ You need more braking distance,
especially if you are driving on
unpaved roads.

When driving off-road, sudden
motion and manoeuvres can make
you lose control of the steering.
This could cause a collision.
Therefore, when driving on-road
and off-road, you and your
passengers should wear seat
belts.
