Off-Road Driving

DRIVING ON SOFT SURFACES & DRY SAND

The ideal technique for driving on soft ground and dry sand

requires the vehicle to be kept moving at all times - soft sand

causes excessive drag on the wheels resulting in rapid loss of

motion once driving momentum is lost. For this reason, gear

changing should be avoided.

Stopping on soft ground, in sand or on an incline

If you do stop the vehicle, remember: Starting on an incline or on

soft ground or sand may be difficult. Always park on a firm level

area, or with the vehicle facing downhill.

If forward motion is lost, avoid excessive use of the throttle - this

will cause wheel spin and tend to dig the vehicle into the sand. Clear

sand from around the tyres and ensure that the body is not bearing

on the sand before again attempting to move.

If the wheels have sunk, use an air bag lifting device or high lift jack

to raise the vehicle, and then build up sand under the wheels so that

the vehicle is again on level ground. If a restart is still not possible,

place sand mats or ladders beneath the wheels.

DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURFACES

(ice, snow, mud, wet grass)

• Select the highest gear possible.

• Drive away using the minimum throttle possible.

• Drive slowly at all times, keeping braking to a minimum and

avoiding violent movements of the steering wheel.

IMPORTANT

After driving off-road:

Before rejoining the public

highway, or driving at speeds

above 40 km/h consideration

should be given to the

following:

•

Wheels and tyres must be

cleaned of mud and

inspected for damage.

•

If wheels and tyres are not

cleaned properly, damage

to the wheels, tyres,

braking system and

suspension components

could occur.

•

Brake discs and calipers

should be examined and

any stones or grit that may

affect braking efficiency,

removed.
