WARNING
The intelligent technology of the vehicle cannot change the laws of physics. Despite the ABS, ad‐
verse terrain can cause instability through blocked wheels – for example, if you brake hard when
driving on a loose gravel road. Difficult terrain may also prevent the ESC from doing its job.
WARNING
Inadequate experience and knowledge of the demands of off-road driving can lead to critical situ‐
ations and cause serious personal injury.
Never take routes or risks that could put you or your passengers in danger. If you cannot go
on, or have doubts about the safety of your route, turn back and take a new route.
Even terrain that looks easy can be difficult and dangerous, putting you and your passengers
in a critical situation. It is often best to check an area out on foot first.
