R
Comply with the rules for off-road driving.

Do not drive at an angle on slopes, inclines or gradients, but instead follow the direct line
of fall. The maximum gradient-climbing capability of your vehicle is 100%, which corresponds
to an approach/departure angle of 45°. Note that the vehicle's gradient-climbing capability
depends on the off-road conditions.
R
Before tackling steep downhill gradients, select shift range 1.
R
Drive slowly.
R
Avoid high engine speeds – drive at a suitable engine speed (maximum 3000 rpm).
R
Use the braking power of the engine when driving down a slope. Observe the engine speed,
do not overrev the engine.
R
Check the brakes after driving off-road for a long time.
