Starting and Driving
After Driving Off-road
Off-road operation puts more stress on
your vehicle than does most on-road
driving. After going off-road, it is always
a good idea to check for damage. That
way you can get any problems taken
care of right away and have your vehicle
ready when you need it.
•
Completely inspect the underbody
of your vehicle. Check tires, body
structure, steering, suspension, and
exhaust system for damage.
•
Inspect the radiator for mud and debris
that might decrease sinking effect and
clean as required.
•
Check for accumulations of plants or
brush in underbody. These things could
be a fire hazard if they get in contact
with the exhaust system.
•
After extended operation in mud, sand,
water, or similar dirty conditions, have
all parts that got in contact with mud,
sand and water inspected and cleaned
as soon as possible.
WARNING!
Abrasive material in any part of the
brakes may cause excessive wear or
unpredictable braking operation. You
might not have full braking power when
you need it to prevent a collision. Do not
drive if braking system is not perfectly
efficient: get your brakes checked and
cleaned as necessary by the Service
Network.
•
If you experience unusual vibration
after driving in mud, slush or similar
conditions, check the wheels and
suspension linkages for impacted
material. Impacted material can cause
wheel imbalance and affect suspension
response. Removing it will correct the
situation.
Parking Brake
The vehicle is equipped with an electric
automatic parking brake, also called EPB
(Electric Parking Brake). The EPB braking
action is ensured by a power actuator
directly working on the brake pad inside
each caliper of the rear brake system.
It can be automatically engaged when
the engine is turned off and disengaged
with engine running, driver seatbelt
latched and driver door closed, while
pressing the brake pedal and operating
the shift buttons only if the "Auto Park
Brake" function is activated on the
MIA screen (see paragraph "Functions
of Controls Menu on MIA" in section
"Instrument and Controls").
Furthermore, EPB can be automatically
engaged above a slope threshold with
transmission in parking to avoid damage
to the vehicle. EPB can be disengaged
before to turn off the vehicle.
When the parking brake is applied,
the warning light
lights up on
the instrument cluster display and the
related message is displayed on the
instrument cluster for 5 seconds (see
“Warning and Indicators Lights” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
