Off-road programs (vehicles with the

General notes
The off-road programs assist you in driving

off-road. The engine's performance charac-

teristics and the gearshifting characteristics

of the automatic transmission are adapted for

this purpose. ABS, ESP

®

and 4ETS programs

especially adapted to off-road driving are acti-

vated. An accelerator pedal curve suitable for

the terrain is selected, i.e. the accelerator

pedal must be depressed further to acceler-

ate.
Do not use the off-road programs on roads

that are snow-covered or icy or if you have

mounted snow chains on your vehicle.
For information on driving off-road, see
