DRIVE SYSTEMS

Drive modes

Following drive modes are selectable:
● Normal mode
● Power mode
● Eco mode
Each drive mode corresponds to a
different vehicle setting.
To select the respective drive mode, use
the shown toggle switch.
Normal mode
Optimises range and dynamic
performance. This mode is automatically
selected everytime the vehicle is started.
Power mode
Provides the same performance as
Normal mode, however, when the
vehicle is fully loaded.
172
Eco mode
Optimises energy consumption by
reducing the performance of heating and
air conditioning as well as reducing the
performance of the electric engine.

BRAKES

The brake system comprises two
independent brake circuits.
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can still
be braked using the other brake circuit.
However, braking effect is achieved only
when the brake pedal is depressed
firmly. Considerably more force is
needed for this. The braking distance is
extended. Seek the assistance of a
workshop before continuing the journey.
When the engine is not running, the
support of the brake servo unit
disappears once the brake pedal has
been depressed once or twice. Braking
effect is not reduced, but braking
requires significantly greater force. It is
especially important to bear this in mind
when being towed.

Antilock brake system

Antilock brake system (ABS) prevents the
wheels from locking.
ABS starts to regulate brake pressure as
soon as a wheel shows a tendency to
lock. The vehicle remains steerable, even
during hard braking.
ABS control is made apparent through a
pulse in the brake pedal and the noise of
the regulation process.
