Use of snow tyres and / or tyre chain is recommended.
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles to avoid sudden
braking and slow down by shifting down the gears.
Avoid sudden acceleration, braking or turning. Such sharp
manoeuvres can cause loss of traction and thereby loss of
vehicle control.

The extent of muddy / sandy, conditions and the traction
available is difficult to judge and the vehicle can get
bogged down deeply. Operation should be done at slow
speed only. If possible, get down and check the path
conditions before proceeding.
In case the traction on the wheels is sufficient, you may be
able to proceed, it is better to select the lower gear and
proceed in the normal manner. To match your power and
speed requirements, you can shift up in any of the 5
forward gears or the reverse gear.

You may choose to reduce the tyre pressure marginally
for additional grip on loose surfaces, though with a slight
loss of ground clearance.
z Try to maintain a constant engine speed and avoid
sudden acceleration which can cause wheel spin and
loss of traction, possibly leading to bogging down of
the vehicle.
z If the vehicle gets stuck in loose sand, do not keep on
accelerating as the wheel spin will only result in the
wheels sinking deeper.
