Tips on driving
Loose sand is an especially tricky surface for off-
road driving.
You can often become stuck in sand within
minutes if you do not drive correctly in such
situations.
fDrive at brisk pace and do not stop under any
circumstances. This will reduce the chance of
the car becoming bogged down.
fFollow existing tracks – provided that they
have not been covered by blown sand, are not
too deep and the car's ground clearance is
sufficient.
Pay attention to the ground clearance of the
car.
Please see the chapter “GROUND
CLEARANCE” on Page 357.
fAvoid high engine speeds (max. 2,500 rpm).
