Off-road mode

An adapted mode for low speeds that improves the vehicle's traction and handling in difficult terrain and on steep gradients and poor roads.

Drive mode Off-road gives a high ground clearance*, light steering, extended four wheel drive* as well as activated low speed function with downhill assistance. 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.

Keep in mind that:
  • 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.

 Note

Off-road mode is not designed to be used for normal street driving.
