Carefully depress the accelerator pedal and
make sure that the wheels do not spin when
driving on steep terrain.

If the load on the front axle is reduced when
pulling away on a steep uphill slope, the front
wheels have a tendency to spin. 4ETS recog-
nises this and brakes the wheels accordingly.
The rear wheel torque is increased and it is
easier to pull away.
