Before driving off-road


Important information
›
The first priority should always be safety.
›
Do not drive off-road if your vehicle is not suited to it. Your vehicle is not de-
signed for expedition-like travel.
›
Before every off-road journey, make sure that the vehicle is appropriately
equipped for the planned journey.
›
Check the tyre inflation pressure on your vehicle and adjust where necessary.
›
Fill up. The fuel consumption of the vehicle is much higher when driving off-
road than when driving on the road.
›
Pay attention to possible hazards before driving on unfamiliar territory.
