When the road ends, you can select Off-Road mode simply by pressing a button. The ABS anti-lock braking system permits a certain amount of slip in order to create a wedge effect in front of the wheels.

In order to improve traction in Off-Road mode, ASR allows a greater amount of slip, and electronic differential lock (EDL) reacts more quickly. When required, the Hill-Hold Control and Hill-Descent Control functions are activated – the latter maintains the car’s speed at the level at which the driver enters the slope.
