What does the Sand Escape Mode mean?
1 Answers
Sand Escape Mode is a function designed for extricating vehicles stuck in sand. It enables the trapped wheels to bounce up and down, allowing sand and gravel to return beneath the wheels under gravity, thereby gradually raising the wheels. Combined with the electronic slip limitation function, it helps the vehicle escape from sandy terrain. This mode ensures both driving wheels maintain a minimal slip range simultaneously, propelling the vehicle forward while reducing the risk of getting stuck in sand. When a vehicle is trapped in sand, simply revving the engine will only cause the wheels to fling more sand upward, leading to deeper sinking. In such situations, standard vehicles typically use ESC to limit wheel spin. Drivers may also place a board under the wheels to prevent further sinking while ensuring traction for successful extrication.
