"GRIP CONTROL"
Correct use
Your vehicle is designed principally to drive
on tarmac roads but it allows you to drive on
other less passable terrain occasionally.
However, particularly when your vehicle is
heavily laden, it does not permit off-road
activities such as:
- crossing and driving on ground which could damage the underbody or tear off
components (fuel pipe, fuel cooler, ...),
particularly by obstacles or stones,
- driving on ground with steep gradients and poor grip,
- crossing a stream.
On snow, mud and sand, this traction
system, associated with the Michelin
® Agilis
51 M+S all terrain tyres, provides a
compromise between safety, adhesion and
traction.
It allows progress to be made in most
conditions of low adhesion. The accelerator pedal must
be pressed sufficiently
so that the engine power
can be used to effectively
manage the various
parameters.
