All-terrain (mud, damp grass,
etc.)
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.
(mode active up to 31 mph (50
km/h))
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.
(mode active up to 75 mph (120 km/h))
Do not use the other modes on sand as
the vehicle may become stuck. The ASR and DSC systems can be
deactivated by turning the knob to
the "
OFF" position.
Recommendations
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to
occasionally drive on other less passable
terrain.
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, etc.) due to obstacles or stones
in particular,
-
d
riving on terrain with steep gradients
and poor grip,
-
c
rossing a stream.
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer
have an effect on engine operation or
the brakes in the event of an involuntary
change of trajectory.
These systems are reactivated
automatically from 31 mph (50
km/h) or
every time the ignition is switched on.
Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic
pretensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front seats
in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly
tightens the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
