Off-road vehicle and vehicle control method

An off-road vehicle comprising:

• a travel mechanism that includes a travel motor, wheels including a front wheel and a rear wheel, and a power transmission mechanism transmitting rotation from the travel motor to the wheels, the power transmission mechanism including a CVT belt and a transfer box switchable between a front and rear wheel drive mode in which rotation of the travel motor is transmitted to both the front wheel and the rear wheel and a rear wheel drive mode in which rotation of the travel motor is transmitted to the rear wheel;
• a sensor that detects a travel condition caused by the travel mechanism;
• and
• processing circuitry that
• determines whether the travel condition caused by the travel mechanism has become a predetermined belt check request condition based on an output of the sensor, and
• performs, when determining that the travel condition has become the belt check request condition, travel function limitation processing of limiting a travel function performed by the travel mechanism more than that before determination.
