Steering is power-assisted on the front wheels to reduce driver fatigue and a central tyre pressure regulation system is fitted as standard, allowing pressure to be adjusted from 0.7 to 0.35 bar to suit the type of ground being crossed. Main brakes are air-hydraulic with a hand-operated parking brake.
