Off-road mode
The Off-road drive mode provides high ground clearance up to 25 km/h (15 mph)*, light steering, extended all-wheel drive* and activated low-speed function with downhill assist. This gives increased engine braking that makes it possible to increase or reduce the vehicle's speed on steep gradients with only the accelerator pedal, without using the normal brakes.
The speed is regulated using the accelerator pedal. When the accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle brakes to a very low speed regardless of how steep the hill is and without the brakes needing to be applied.
The brake lights illuminate when the vehicle is braking/speed is reduced. The driver can also depress the brake pedal to reduce creep speed or to stop the vehicle.
- The mode is only available at low speeds, up to 40 km/h (25 mph). If this speed is exceeded, Off-road drive mode switches off.
