:Fording depth
On vehicles with the AIRMATIC package, loads
up to the maximum permissible load have no
influence on fording capability.

Maximum gradient-climbing capabil-
ity
Note that the vehicle's gradient-climbing capa-
bility depends on the off-road conditions and the road surface conditions.
The maximum gradient climbing ability is 80 %.
Accelerate carefully and make sure that the
wheels do not spin when driving on steep ter-
rain.
iIf the load on the front axle is reduced when
pulling away on a steep uphill slope, the front
wheels have a tendency to spin. 4ETS recog-
nizes this and brakes the wheels accordingly. The rear wheel torque is increased, making it
easier to drive off.
