Drive-off assistant

The drive-off assistant enables you to drive off
smoothly on uphill gradients. It is not necessary
to use the parking brake for this.

1.

Hold the car in place by depressing the
brake.

2.

Release the brake and drive off without
delay.

The drive-off assistant holds the car in
place for approx. 2 seconds after the

brake is released. Depending on vehicle load,
the car may roll backwards a little during this
time span. Drive off without delay after releas-
ing the brake. Otherwise, the drive-off assistant
will no longer hold the car in place after approx.
2 seconds and the car will start to roll back-
wards.
