GRIP CONTROL
It adapts to allows most conditions of
poor grip to be accommodated.
The accelerator pedal must be pressed
enough for there to be adequate
engine power to manage the various
parameters in the best way. On snow, mud or sand, traction control
is obtained by a compromise between
safety, grip, traction and appropriate
tyres. 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 of

f components (fuel pipe,
fuel cooler, ...), particularly by
obstacles or stones,
-

driving on ground with steep
gradients and poor grip,
-


crossing a stream.

SNOW CHAINS
In wintry conditions, snow chains
improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
The snow chains must be fitted only

to the driving wheels. They must
never be fitted to "space-saver" type
spare wheels.
T

ake account of the legislation in
force in your country on the use
of snow chains and the maximum
running speed authorised. Advice on installation

If you have to fit the chains during
a journey

, stop the vehicle on a flat
surface on the side of the road.

Apply the parking brake and
position any wheel chocks to
prevent movement of your vehicle.
F

avoid driving with chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow

to avoid damaging your vehicle's
tyres and the road surface. If your
vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels,
check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
