Drive-off assistant with
6-cylinder engines
The drive-off assistant enables you to drive off
smoothly on uphill gradients. It is not necessary
to use the handbrake for this.
1. Hold the vehicle in place by depressing the
brake.
2. Release the brake and drive off without
delay.
The drive-off assistant holds the vehicle
in place for approx. 2 seconds after the
brake is released. Depending on the vehicle's
load or if towing a trailer, the vehicle may roll
backwards a little during this time. After releas-
ing the brake, drive off without delay. After
approx. 2 seconds, the drive-off assistant will
no longer hold the vehicle in place and the car
will start to roll backwards.<
