Off-roading has always been in Russia and remains one of the main problems of the driver, especially when driving outside the city. Do not get stuck on a sandy or clay road, protect yourself from breakdowns, drive a difficult section - the ability to drive off-road comes only with experience.
Instructions
Step 1
Try to avoid driving on sandy roads as deep sand is dangerous to your vehicle. Scattering to the sides, it gives strong resistance to the wheels. Even before driving, reduce the pressure in the wheels to 1 atm., To improve the cross-country ability of the car.
Step 2
Drive at a speed of 25-30 km / h. At the same time, the risk of damaging the suspension on an unexpected bump will be minimal, and at the same time, at this speed, the car will be able to overcome all obstacles and bumps on the road without getting stuck in clay or sand. A big mistake is to drop your speed dramatically when you see a muddy or sandy area, the wheels will almost certainly get stuck.
Step 3
When driving on a track, make sure not to run into the side bumpers, otherwise you can get stuck: the bottom will sit tightly on the rise, and the wheels will be below. If the ruts are very deep, it is better to find a detour or put branches and boards under the wheels. Puddles are very dangerous, their depth can be any. Don't be lazy, get out of the car and check.
Step 4
On a wet clay road, try to drive smoothly at a low speed. A sudden increase in speed can lead to skidding. Avoid jerking, shift gears on time. Remember - it is better to get out, walk a few meters and check the availability and condition of the road further than trying to get out of the hole all day.
Step 5
On uphills, move evenly, without shifting unnecessarily, and descents are best overcome in low gear, braking if necessary.
Step 6
Prepare for your trip in advance if possible. Distribute passengers and cargo evenly throughout the cabin. The luggage compartment should contain a folding shovel and, if possible, snow chains for the wheels. Instead of chains in small areas, you can use a regular rope, it will also improve the grip of the wheels.
