Depress the accelerator pedal past the
pressure point to the stop (kickdown).
Axle and wheel loads
!
Do
not exceed the permissible axle loads
and wheel loads. Do not exceed the per-
missible gross weight. The difference
between wheel loads must not exceed 10 %
of the axle load.
The following parts of the vehicle may oth-
erwise be damaged:
R
tyres
R
chassis frame
R
axles
!
Observe the maximum gross axle weight
when tipping, rolling away or setting down
demountable bodies or containers. Do not
exceed the values given in the body/equip-
ment mounting directive.
The following parts of the vehicle may oth-
erwise be damaged:
R

Information on the body/equipment mount-
ing directives (Y page 29).
While driving, pay regular attention to the
indicator and warning lamps and the displays
on the on-board computer.
ASR (acceleration skid control)
Driving with ASR
ASR can neither reduce the risk of an accident
nor override the laws of physics if the driver
does not pay attention when pulling away or
accelerating. ASR is only an aid. You should
always adapt your driving style to suit pre-
vailing road and weather conditions.
ASR considerably improves traction, i.e.
power transmission between the tyres and
the
road surface, and therefore also improves
the vehicle's driving stability. ASR assists
with pulling away and accelerating, particu-
larly on slippery surfaces.
If the drive wheels:
R
spin on one or both sides of the vehicle,
ASR is activated automatically
R
spin on one side, ASR brakes them auto-
matically
R
spin on both sides, ASR automatically
reduces the engine's power output
If ASR intervenes:
R
the À indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster flashes
R
you cannot activate cruise control
R
and cruise control has already been activa-
ted, it will remain active. It is not possible to
accelerate or decelerate using cruise con-
trol.
X
Switch the ignition lock to the drive posi-
tion.
The À indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster
lights up and goes out after approx-
imately 2 seconds. ASR is activated.
If the À indicator lamp does not go out,
then ASR has a malfunction. Have the
cause of the malfunction rectified at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Deactivating/activating ASR
G
WARNING
If deactivated, ASR will not attempt to stabi-
lise
the vehicle during pulling away and accel-
eration. There is an increased risk of skidding
and of an accident.
Only deactivate ASR in the situations descri-
bed in the following.
