Other Feature-
The main Highlight about the vehicle is the “Traction+” feature, which the 85 HP Trekking 0.9 TwinAir Turbo and the 75 HP Trekking 1.3 MultiJet II adoption “Traction+” as standard feature, it is an innovative traction control system that improves handling on difficult and slippery terrain and also costs far less than conventional 4×4 drive. “Traction+,” has been combined with the specially designed 175/65 R15 84T M+S tyres which are standard. The system is activated using a button on the dashboard, and can be operated at speeds of up to 30 km/h. And this feature works like this, under conditions of low or zero grip from any drive wheel, the control unit detects slip and commands the hydraulic circuit to apply braking force to the slipping wheel, thus shifting drive to the wheel on the surface offering better grip. This makes it easy to drive, maintains directional stability and control, and ensures the best possible traction even over the roughest and most slippery surfaces.
