▷ Infrequent use of the brakes.
▷ Aggressive, acidic, or alkaline cleaning
agents.
Corrosion buildup on the brake discs will cause a
pulsating effect on the brakes in their response -
generally this cannot be corrected.
Condensation water under the
parked vehicle
When using the automatic climate control, con‐
densation water develops and collects under‐
neath the vehicle.
Ground clearance
NOTICE
If ground clearance is insufficient, there might
be contact with the front or rear spoiler, for in‐
stance when driving over curbs or entering into
underground vehicle parking garages. There is
a risk of damage to property. Ensure that there
is sufficient ground clearance available.
M Driver's Package: driving in
the higher speed range
WARNING
Damage to vehicle components can negatively
impact the driving performance at high speeds.
This includes, among other things, tires, under‐
carriage and parts for improving aerodynamics.
There is a risk of an accident. Have damage
corrected by a dealer’s service center or an‐
other qualified service center or repair shop. Do
not drive at high speeds until the damage is
corrected.
Driving on poor roads
Concept
Because of its greater ground clearance, the ve‐
hicle can be driven on a variety of road types and
qualities.
All-wheel drive can help improve forward mo‐
mentum.
Safety information
NOTICE
Objects in unpaved areas, for instance stones
or branches, can damage the vehicle. There is
a risk of damage to property. Do not drive on
unpaved terrain.
When driving on poor roads
For your own safety, for the safety of passengers
and of the vehicle, heed the following points:
▷ Familiarize yourself with the vehicle before
driving.
▷ Do not take risks when driving.
▷ Adjust the speed to the road surface condi‐
tions. The steeper and more uneven the road
surface, the slower the speed should be.
▷ When driving on steep uphill or downhill
grades: add engine oil and coolant up to near
the MAX mark.
▷ On steep downhill grades, use Hill Descent
Control HDC.
▷ Avoid that the chassis bottom coming in con‐
tact with the ground.
The ground clearance is no more than 7.8 in‐
ches/20 cm and can vary according to the ve‐
hicle's load.
▷ When wheels continue to spin, depress the
accelerator so that driving stability control
systems can distribute the driving force to the
wheels. Activate DTC Dynamic Traction Con‐
trol if available.
