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 (e.g. ice or mud).
For vehicles with manual transmission, the speed is maintained as follows.

Start-Off Assist
The assistant supports the driver when starting eg on a steep slope. When the
driver presses the accelerator, the maximum engine speed is electronically limited
so that a gentle approach is possible.
The overspeed trip unit is automatically deactivated after terminating the start-
up procedure.
As part of the Assist System, the accelerator pedal is adapted in its characteristics
for an easier start-off on slippery and loose soil.

The indicated values represent the average of the lower speed limits if a gear is engaged (depending
on the type of gearbox or engine).
ABS OFF ROAD
The ABS OFF ROAD supports the driver when braking on an unpaved surface such
as gravel, snow, etc.
The system generated by a controlled locking of the wheels braked wheel before
a "wedge" of piled material, which shortens the braking distance.

The system is only available, if the front wheels are in the straight-ahead posi-
tion.
The system operates at speeds of up to 50 km/h.
TCS OFF ROAD
The ASR OFF ROAD makes starting and driving on an unpaved surface easier as it
partially allows wheel-spin.
EDL OFF ROAD
The EDS supports OFF ROAD vehicle traction when driving on a surface with dif-
ferent grip under the drive wheels or when driving over bumps.
A spinning wheel or wheels are braked earlier and with more force than with the
intervention of the standard EDS system.
