All terrain (mud, damp grass, ...)
This mode, when moving off, allows
considerable spin on the wheel with the least
grip to optimise clearing of the mud and to
regain grip. At the same time, the wheel with
the most grip is controlled in such a way as to
transmit as much torque as possible.
When moving, the system optimises wheel spin
to respond to the driver's requirements as fully
as possible.

lace the knob in this position.
Sand
This mode allows little spin on the two driving
wheels at the same time to allow the vehicle to
move for ward and limit the risks of getting stuck
in the sand.

lace the knob in this position. You can deactivate certain
ESC systems (ASR and DSC)
by turning the knob to the
"
OFF " position.
Driving advice
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you
to drive on other less passable terrain
occasionally.
However, it does not permit off-road
driving such as:
-
c
rossing and driving on terrain
which could damage the underbody
or strip away components (fuel
pipe, fuel cooler...) due to obstacles
or stones in particular,
-
d
riving on terrain with steep
gradients and poor grip,
-
c
rossing a stream.
Do not use the other modes on sand as
the vehicle may become stuck. These systems are reactivated
automatically from 30 mph (50 km/h) or
every time the ignition is switched on.
