The essentials
Place the gear lever in neutral on vehicles
with a manual gearbo x. With an aut
omatic
gearbo
x, place the lever in N.
To brake, press the brake pedal firmly. The
brake servo does not work when the engine is
switched off.
The power steering only works when the igni-
tion is switched on, provided that the battery
is sufficiently charged. Otherwise, it will need
more force.
Ensure that the tow rope remains taut at all
times.

Driving
Electronic differential lock (EDS)
EDL is av ail
abl
e when driving in straight lines
under normal conditions. When the EDL de-
tects wheelspin, it brakes the spinning wheel
and directs the power to the other one. To
prevent the disc brake of the braked wheel
from overheating, the EDL cuts out automati-
cally if subjected to excessive loads. The EDL
will switch on again automatically when the
brake has cooled down. WARNING
Driving at high speed on icy, slippery or wet
ground can r esult in l
oss of vehicle control
and serious injury to the driver and passen-
gers.

Towing bracket device
Hill driving assistant* Oper ation This function is only included in vehicles with
ESC.
The hill driving assistant helps the driv
er t
o
move off and upward on a hill when the vehi-
cle is stationary.
The system maintains brake pressure for ap-
proximately two seconds after the driver
takes his foot off the brake pedal to prevent
the vehicle from lurching backward when it is
started. During these 2 seconds, the driver
has enough time to release the clutch pedal
and accelerate without the vehicle moving
and without having to use the handbrake,
making start-up easier, more comfortable
and safer.
These are the basic operation conditions:
