Off-Road Driving

Braking

As far as possible, vehicle speed should be controlled through

correct gear selection. Application of the brake pedal should be kept

to an absolute minimum. Unless hill descent control (HDC) and ABS

have been fitted, any braking on wet, muddy or loose surfaces is

likely to cause one or more wheels to lock - the resultant slide could

prove dangerous.

Hill descent control (HDC) - if fitted

During a descent, if engine braking is insufficient to control the

vehicle speed, HDC (if selected) automatically operates the brakes

to slow the vehicle and maintain a speed relative to the accelerator

pedal position.

When driving off-road, HDC can be permanently engaged, to ensure

that control is maintained whenever 1st or reverse gears are

selected. ABS and traction control are still fully operational and will

assist if the need arises.

NOTE: With HDC selected, gear changes can be carried out in the

normal way.

Use of engine for braking

For vehicles NOT fitted with HDC; before descending steep slopes,

stop the vehicle at least its length before the descent, select 1st

gear.

While descending the slope it should be remembered that the

engine will provide sufficient braking effort to control the rate of

descent and that the brakes should not be applied.

Accelerating

Use the accelerator with care - any sudden surge of power may

induce wheel spin and result in loss of control of the vehicle.
