Driving over obstacles
Obstacles could damage the floor of the vehicle or components of the chassis. Ask passengers for guidance when driving over large obstacles. The passenger should always keep a safe distance from the vehicle when doing so in order to avoid injury as a result of unexpected vehicle movements. After driving off-road or over obstacles, check the vehicle for possible damage, especially to the underbody and the components of the chassis.
Observe the following rules when driving over
tree stumps, large stones and other
obstacles:
- raise the vehicle level.
- avoid high engine speeds.
- select shift range 1.
- drive very slowly.
- drive straight over the center of obstacles.
