Survey the ground before driving
Before negotiating difficult terrain, it is wise to
carry out a preliminary survey on foot. This
will minimise the risk of your vehicle getting
into difficulty through a previously unnoticed
hazard.
Ground clearance
For serious off-road driving ALWAYS remove
the bib spoiler extension from the front
bumper (if fitted).
Don’t forget to allow for ground clearance
beneath the chassis, axles and under the front
and rear bumpers. Note that the axle
differentials are situated BELOW the chassis
and are positioned slightly to the LEFT of the
centre of the vehicle. Note also that there are
other parts of the vehicle which may come
into contact with the ground; take care not to
ground the vehicle.
Ground clearance is particularly important at
the bottom of a steep slope, or where wheel
ruts are unusually deep and where sudden
changes in the slope of the ground are
experienced.
On soft ground, the axle differentials will clear
their own path in all but the most difficult
conditions. However, on frozen, rocky or hard
ground, if the vehicle’s progress is halted as a
result of grounding of the chassis, this will
cause the vehicle to rise automatically to the
’Extended profile’ ride height position. (see
’Air suspension’
for further details).
Always attempt to avoid obstacles that may
foul the chassis or differentials.
Loss of traction
If the vehicle is immobile due to loss of wheel
grip, the following hints could be of value:
• Avoid prolonged wheel spin; this will only
make matters worse. The electronic
traction control (ETC) (if fitted) will
prevent wheel spin; drive will be diverted
from a spinning wheel and the remaining
wheel will then provide the traction
necessary to overcome difficult driving
conditions.
• Remove obstacles rather than forcing the
vehicle across them.
• Clear clogged tyre treads.
• Reverse as far as possible, then attempt
an increased speed approach; additional
momentum may overcome the obstacle.
• Brushwood, sacking or any similar
material placed in front of the tyres will
improve tyre grip.
