Crossing muddy ground
Stop before you get to the mud and study the terrain.
Attach emergency straps at the front and rear to avoid having to do it when you are stuck in the mud.
If using All-Terrain or Mud-Terrain tyres the tyre pressures may be decreased to improve traction – contact BFGoodrich tyres for advice.
Move forward in low ratio, 2nd or 3rd gear.
If there are deep ruts, approach them at an angle so that the wheels straddle them and do not go into the ruts. If unavoidable, put the minimum number of wheels into the ruts.
Use central and rear wheel differential locking (if the vehicle has it).
Keep the wheels straight.
Maintain constant acceleration.
Try not to stop, but if you become stuck, change immediately into reverse gear and go back.
