　　Driving Tips

　　: Muddy Road

　　When you encounter a muddy road, you should stop the car first, then get off and walk closer to observe. Use a wooden stick to find out how deep the mud is. Never try to pass through mud that exceeds the height of the tires unless you have no choice. When you are sure that you can pass through, you should engage the 4WD gear, add gas steadily, and try to ensure that the wheels rotate at an appropriate speed. When driving on a muddy road, the gaps between the treads will be filled with mud, thus losing grip. Moderate idling can shake off the mud on the tread to regain adhesion, but the key point is moderation. Excessive idling will cause the wheels to sink into the mud, making you stuck in the mud. But if you are really stuck, don't worry. You can try to move forward and backward to accumulate kinetic energy in a rhythmic forward and backward movement, and suddenly accelerate to rush out of the mud pit when there is space. If moving forward and backward doesn't work, you can only get off the car to dig up the silt on both sides of the tires and reduce the tire pressure to eliminate some of the suction of the mud. For vehicles with winches, you can also use the help of the winch to get out of trouble. Once you have left the muddy area, it is best to stop the car and check whether the transmission, wheels and other parts are stuck by the mud, because the mud will affect the normal operation of these parts after drying.

　　Driving

　　on sand When driving on sand, try to keep the car on the surface of the sand. At this time, using wide tires, appropriately reducing tire pressure and reducing the weight of the car will be very effective. When passing through the sand, you should choose a path in advance and pass quickly and at a constant speed. Once the wheel is stuck in the sand, you should stop immediately to avoid the wheel spinning and getting deeper and deeper, and let everyone in the car get off to reduce the weight of the car as much as possible. The remaining work is to dig the sand: first dig out the sand around the tire stuck in the sand, take out the jack and support it on the hard part of the car body (note: the jack will sink if it is placed directly on the sand, so a steel plate should be placed under it). After the car body is raised, immediately put the friction plate under the tire (wooden board or aluminum anti-sand plate will work, and a thick blanket will work if there is really no one), and then handle the other wheel. After everything is put in place, remove the jack. Now it's time for others to push the car. While the driver is accelerating and trying to get out of the sand pit, others are pushing hard from behind until the wheels are out of trouble. Once the car is out of the sand pit, do not stop immediately. Drive the car out of the soft area for a while before stopping.

　　Slope Rush

　　Proactive road exploration is very important. Even if the road is very bad, you should get off the car and take a look in person to avoid blindly accelerating and rushing up the slope. When you reach the top of the slope, you suddenly find that there is a cliff under your feet. At this time, it may be too late to "rein in the horse". After exploring the road, drive the car to a certain distance away from the slope and prepare to sprint. Put the low-speed four-wheel drive gear and choose the appropriate forward gear according to the size of the slope. Once you start to rush up the slope, do not change gears, because shifting gears at this time will cause a momentary loss of power, and lifting the clutch when refueling again will cause the tires to spin idly. It is very difficult to regain adhesion at this time.

　　Wading

　　Old drivers all know a saying: "Go fast on sand and slow on water." This actually explains the first rule when wading: slow! In addition to driving slowly, you also need to get out of the car and explore the road. On the one hand, you need to confirm the water depth, and on the other hand, you need to check the road conditions under the water. Generally speaking, the riverbed with a fast current will be harder, because the turbulent current carries away the mud. When taking this kind of road, you should pay attention to choosing the route to avoid large stones from damaging the chassis; and the stream with a slower flow rate usually allows sticky and soft things to settle on the riverbed. When taking this kind of waterway, you should avoid getting stuck. It is also a good choice for experienced drivers to reverse the car across the river, because when the car moves forward in the water, it will push up a small wave, and at this time the water level at the rear of the car will be relatively shallow, so reversing forward will reduce the chance of the engine getting water. However, whether driving forward or backward, the water level cannot be higher than the engine, otherwise you will have to put out the fire and get stuck no matter how you drive.

　　Classic player routes

　　: Wild route 1: Laozhanggou:

　　Laozhanggou is located at the junction of Hebei and Inner Mongolia. The forest farm is about 1,700 meters above sea level, and the bottom of the ditch is about 1,400 meters above sea level. The temperature is 4-13℃ all year round, and the average precipitation is 400-800 mm. It is a typical wetland grassland climate. Although most of the roads after entering Laozhanggou are dirt roads, the road conditions are relatively flat. If you are driving an off-road vehicle, it should be easy to pass, but the situation is much more complicated after entering the bottom of the ditch. There are dense gravels and quicksand lying across the valley. There is a stream flowing quietly through the canyon in the depths. A piece of open space beside the stream is an excellent place for camping at night. There are no residents, no pollution, and no traces of modern industry. Only during the day can you see occasional agricultural vehicles shuttling through the mountains. If you want to drive to Laozhanggou, you can choose to take the Badaling Expressway. After getting on the Badaling Expressway from Madian, go straight past Badaling and continue westward towards Zhangjiakou, passing Donghuayuan and Huailai to the Xuanhua exit; after getting off the expressway, take National Highway 112, pass Zhaochuan and Sanchakou to Laoyoutun; then go north to Chicheng; after arriving in Chicheng, walk along the township road for 2 kilometers and there will be a junction. Turn northwest and go 3 kilometers to reach the destination Laozhanggou.

　　Playing with sand route 2: Tianmo

　　On the south side of Guanting Reservoir, at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, there is a natural desert of more than 1,000 acres, known as the "Tianmo". It is said that the strong northwest airflow carried the sand and dust from the Inner Mongolia Plateau and was blocked by Jundu Mountain. After the sand and dust settled, this "flying desert" was formed. Standing on the top of the desert, the mirror-like Guanting Reservoir will immediately come into view. Looking south, you can see the majestic Jundu Mountain. At the foot of the mountain is a piece of ruins, arranged from west to east. It is the remains of the Yan Great Wall during the Warring States Period. Between the mountains and waters, there is a golden sand dune, stretching for more than ten miles. The east sand dune is more than 300 meters long from north to south, and the west sand dune is nearly a thousand meters long from north to south. The width is more than 100 meters and it is estimated to be 30 meters high, which is quite spectacular. If you drive to the desert, you can choose to take the Badaling Expressway and then turn into the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Expressway. Specific route: Take the Badaling Expressway from the North Third Ring Road Madian Bridge, cross the Badaling Great Wall, pass Yanqing, and go to Zhangjiakou. You will soon see the Shangqinghe Toll Station. Pay 35 yuan and continue forward. After about 8 kilometers, you will see the East Garden Exit. Pay 5 yuan and turn left to the Guanting Reservoir (there are road signs). At this point, the expressway section is finished. The remaining ten kilometers are all rural asphalt roads. The total distance from Beijing to Tianmo is about 100 kilometers.

　　■Tips

　　1. The four-wheel drive function of an off-road vehicle can only help you drive, not stop you, so avoid driving too fast when driving an off-road vehicle.

　　2. Never put your thumb on the inside of the steering wheel, otherwise the violent twisting of the front wheel during off-roading will cause the steering wheel to turn rapidly. If your thumb is inside the steering wheel at this time, it will cause sprains or even breaks.

　　3. There are both advantages and disadvantages of tire deflation. Deflated tires will increase adhesion to the ground, but they will also increase the chances of being punctured and the wheel rims deforming.

　　4. Steel rims are more suitable for off-roading. It is undeniable that aluminum rims are more attractive, but they are not as durable as steel rims if you jump on rocks.

　　5. Use the winch correctly. Generally, the power consumption of a winch is not low, so it is easy to run out of battery power if the winch is used for a long time. Therefore, it is best to use the winch at intervals, so that the battery has time to charge and the winch can cool down.
