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.
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.
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.
