Function of recovery mode
WARNING Risk of injury due to the vehicle moving up and down
During recovery mode, the vehicle moves up and down and can cause injuries.
When activating recovery mode, make certain that no one is in the vicinity of the vehicle.
NOTE Risk of damage due to the vehicle moving up and down
When free driving mode is activated, the vehicle moves up and down. Vehicle parts may be damaged if the underbody bottoms out.
Make sure that there is sufficient ground clearance when rocking free mode is activated.
Recovery mode is a function of the suspension which can assist the driver on loose surfaces (e.g. sand, snow) when freeing a vehicle which has become stuck.
The vehicle body rocks in slow, vertical motions when recovery mode has been activated. This temporarily puts the wheels under greater load, which means they have increased traction and the vehicle is freed.
You can activate free driving mode via Off-road Assist More.
