STARTING AND DRIVING
||
ECO climate control
Pure
In the drive mode, eco climate control is
activated automatically in the passenger com-
partment in order to reduce energy consumption.
NOTE
When the Pure drive mode is activated, sev-
eral parameters in the climate control sys-
tem's settings are changed, and several elec-
tricity consumer functions are reduced. Cer-
tain settings can be reset manually, but full
functionality is only regained by leaving
Individual
drive mode or adapting
with full climate functionality.
In the event of difficulties due to misting, press
the button for max. defroster which has normal
functionality.
Off Road
Maximise the car's traction when driving in
•
difficult terrain and on poor roads.
The drive mode provides high ground clearance
steering is light, all-wheel drive and the function
for low speed control with hill descent control
(Hill Descent Control) are activated.
The drive mode is only available at low speeds, up
to 40 km/h (25 mph). If this speed is exceeded,
Off Road mode is cancelled and the
AWD drive mode is activated instead.
Applies with air suspension.

To be able to drive all four wheels, the internal
combustion engine and electric motor run contin-
ually, which results in increased fuel consump-
tion.

The drive mode is optimised for maximum con-
trollability at low speeds in poor road conditions
or difficult terrain. It raises the chassis

IMPORTANT
Off Road
The drive mode must not be used
while driving with a trailer without trailer con-
nector. Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to
the air bellows.
Constant AWD
Improve the car's roadholding and traction
•
with enhanced all-wheel drive.
The drive mode locks the car in all-wheel drive.
An optimal distribution between the front and
rear axle torque gives the best traction, stability
and roadholding, for example on slippery roads,
when driving with a heavy trailer, or when towing.
Constant AWD drive mode is always available
regardless of the battery's state of charge.
Both the internal combustion engine and electric
motor are engaged in order to drive all four
wheels, which results in increased fuel consump-
tion.
In the car's other drive modes, the car automati-
cally adapts the need for all-wheel drive to the
road surface, and can engage the electric motor
or start the internal combustion engine when
necessary.
