Applying both the inertia mode (= prolonged
section with less energy) and the switching
off using inertia (= shorter section without
the need for fuel) facilitates improved fuel
consumption and emission balance.
WARNING
If the inertia mode has been switched on,
●
take into account, when approaching an ob-
stacle and releasing the accelerator pedal,
that the vehicle will not decelerate in the usu-
al manner: risk of accident!
When using inertia mode while travelling
●
down hills, the vehicle can increase speed:
risk of accident!
If other users drive your vehicle, warn them
●
about inertia mode.
Note
Inertia mode is only available in
●
Drive Profile*) driving mode.
● The driver message is only displayed
Inertia
with the current consumption. In inertia
mode the gear will no longer be displayed
(for example "E" will appear instead of "E7").
On downhill sections with gradients above
●
15 %, the inertia mode will automatically be
switched off temporarily.
Backup programme
A backup programme is in place if a fault
should occur in the control system.
If all the positions of the selector lever are
shown over a light background on the instru-
ment panel display, there is a system fault
and the automatic gearbox will operate in
with the backup programme. When the back-
up programme is activated, it is possible to
drive the vehicle, however, at low speeds and
within a selected range of gears. In some ca-
ses driving in reverse gear may not be possi-
ble.
CAUTION
If the gearbox operates with the backup pro-
gramme, take the vehicle to a specialised
workshop and have the fault repaired without
delay.
