•
the downhill gradient is at least 10% (when driving over sleepers the limit can
briefly drop to 8%),
•
neither the accelerator nor the brake pedal is operated.
It is however a requirement that the vehicle has sufficient grip on the soil. The Downhill
Drive Support cannot properly fulfil its function on slushy soil due to physical reasons
(ice or mud).
The Downhill Drive Support is deactivated when braking or accelerating or if the
downhill gradient is less than 10%.
Note
•
During an intervention of the Downhill Drive Support, the brake lights do not light
up.

Do not switch off the Off-road mode during an intervention of the Assist System.
