Driving on sand
 WARNING
 WARNING
Do not reduce the tire inflation pressure 
before driving through sand. However, if you 
do so, remember to correct the tire inflation 
pressure before continuing your trip. Driving 
with reduced tire inflation pressure increases 
the risk of losing control of the vehicle and 
rolling over.
Observe the following rules when driving on sand:
- vehicles with the AIRMATIC package:
select a raised vehicle level.
- avoid high engine speeds.
- select a shift range appropriate to the 
terrain.
- drive quickly to overcome the rolling 
resistance. Otherwise, the vehicle could dig 
itself into the sand.
- drive in the tracks of other vehicles if 
possible. Make sure that the ruts are not 
too deep, that the sand is firm enough and 
that your vehicle has sufficient ground 
clearance.
