Switching on OFF ROAD
The OFF ROAD mode is switched on by pressing the 
The indicator light in the button lights up. The warning light lights up in the in-
strument cluster if the system is switched on
Switching off OFF ROAD
Pressing the button switches the OFF ROAD mode off. The indicator light in the
button goes out. When switching off the ignition, the OFF ROAD mode is also
switched off and can be switched on again, if necessary, after switching on the
ignition. If the engine is switched off by accident and restarted within 30 seconds,
the OFF ROAD mode remains switched on.
Start-Off Assist
When the vehicle is stationary, the Start-Off Assist is activated after switching it
on using the button for the OFF ROAD
When depressing the accelerator pedal fully, the engine speed required for the
start-up procedure of the stationary vehicle is restricted. 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.
Downhill Drive Support
The Downhill Drive Support maintains a constant speed on a steep downhill sec-
tion when driving forwards and backwards by automatically intervening in the
brake system of all wheels. It prevents the wheels locking because the ABS re-
mains active. The warning light in the instrument cluster indicates that the

Downhill Drive Support is available
The vehicle speed, which is maintained by the Assist System, is selected by the
driver while driving on a downhill section as of the moment the first intervention
of the Assist System is performed or else, while driving on a downhill section, the
driver must control the vehicle speed until the Assist System intervenes for the
first time. When the Assist System actively intervenes, this is indicated by the
warning light flashing or by a pulsating movement of the brake pedal, similar to
the intervention of the ABS.

The indicated values represent the average of the lower speed limits if a gear is engaged (depending
on the type of gearbox or engine).

You can increase or reduce the speed, even when no gear is engaged, by operat-
ing the accelerator or brake pedal. Thus the function is always interrupted and is
reactivated afterwards.
The Downhill Drive Support is activated automatically if the following conditions
are met:
›
the OFF ROAD mode is switched on and the warning light
strument cluster,
›
the engine of the vehicle is running and either the 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear, the reverse
gear or no gear is engaged,
›
the engine of the vehicle is running, the selector lever of the automatic gearbox
is in the position R, N, D, S or Tiptronic,
›
the speed is less than 30 km/h,
›
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 8 %.
The vehicle speed is steadily regulated by the Assist System in vehicles with a
manual gearbox depending on the type of gearbox or engine:
›
1st gear - approx. 8 - 30 km/h
1)
›
2nd gear - approx. 13 - 30 km/h
1)
›
3rd gear - approx. 22 - 30 km/h

›
Reverse gear - approx. 9 - 30 km/h

›
Neutral for driving forwards - as well as driving backwards - approx. 2
h
Vehicles with automatic gearbox:
›
Selector lever in position D, S or Tiptronic (for 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear) for forward
travel - approximately 2-30 km/h;
›
Selector lever in position R for driving backwards - approx. 2 - 30 km/h
›
Selector lever in position N for driving forwards and backwards - approx. 2 - 30
