Function of recovery mode
WARNING Risk of injury due to the vehicle moving up and down
When free driving mode is activated, the vehicle bounces up and down. Body parts could become trapped if they are between the vehicle body and the tyres or underneath the vehicle.
Make sure that nobody is under or in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle when free driving mode is activated.
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.
Rocking free 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.
