loose terrain

Non-PRO English to Japanese Tech/Engineering

Loose terrain could cause a vehicle to lose traction and could affect steering, stability, and braking.

*I think it refers to a terrain condition which is not rigid or firm, like desert, but cannot figure out the exact expression in "JAPANESE".
