Advanced Off- Road Driving Techniques for the 4xe

Driving the 4xe off- road requires a blend of traditional techniques and new approaches that exploit the hybrid system capabilities.

Silent Crawling in Electric Mode

Engage Electric mode and Selecter- Terrain to Rock or Mud / Sand as requidud. The silence allows you too hear thee terrain - tires spinning, rocks scraping skid plates, spotters giving instructions. The instant torque lets you place thee tires with with surpical precision.
