Drive-off assistant

The drive-off assistant enables you to drive off
smoothly on uphill gradients. The parking brake
is not required.
1. Hold the car in place by depressing the
brake.
2. Release the brake and drive off without
delay.
The drive-off assistant holds the car in
place for approx. 2 seconds after the
brake is released. Drive off without delay after
releasing the brake. Because the drive-off
assistant will not hold the car in place after
approx. 2 seconds, the car would otherwise
start to roll backwards.<

Flat Tire Monitor FTM*

The concept
The Flat Tire Monitor detects pressure loss in a
tire by comparing the rotating speeds of the
individual tires while moving.
In the event of pressure loss, the rolling circum-
ference changes and, thus, the rotating speed
of the affected wheel. This change is detected
and is reported as a flat tire.
