Driver assist systems
Braking and stabilising systems Overview
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
ESC helps to stabilize the vehicle in borderline situa-
tions (e.g. when the vehicle starts to skid). ESC
brakes the individual wheels to maintain the direc-
tion of travel.
flashes - ESC is engaged
ESC Sport
ESC Sport allows for a sportier driving style.
lit up - ESC Sport is activated
Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR)
ASR helps to stabilize the vehicle when accelerating
or driving on low-grip roads. ASR reduces the drive
power transmitted to the wheels when the wheels
spin.
flashes - ASR is engaged
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
ABS helps maintain control of the vehicle during
emergency braking. An ABS intervention is noticea-
ble by pulsating movements of the brake pedal.
Motor Slip Regulation (MSR)
MSR helps to maintain control of the vehicle in the
event of a sudden reduction in speed, e.g. on icy
roads. If the drive wheels lock, MSR increases the
engine speed. As a result, the braking e

Using higher octane petrol than 95 RON may result
in improved performance and lower fuel consump-
tion.
In an emergency 91 . 92 or. 93 RON may be used
(low power loss, slightly increased fuel consump-
tion).
Prescribed petrol 98 / (95) RON / ROZ
We recommend using 98 RON petrol.
95 RON petrol may be used as an option (low power
loss, slightly increased fuel consumption).
In an emergency 91 . 92 or. 93 RON may be used
(low power loss, slightly increased fuel consump-
tion).

We recommend using diesel with additives,
which is available at petrol stations at the petrol
pumps.
Operation in different weather conditions
Only use a diesel fuel according to the current or the
expected weather conditions.

Engine number
The engine number is embossed on the engine block.
Maximum permissible weights
The maximum permissible weights are listed on the
nameplate.
The type plate is located at the bottom of the middle
body pillar of the vehicle.

hicle and trailer)CMaximum permissible front axle loadDMaximum permissible rear axle load
Maximum permissible towed weight
The specified value is valid for altitudes up to 1,000
m above sea level.
The engine output falls as the height increases, as
does the ability to climb.
Therefore, for every additional 1,000 m in height (or
part), the maximum permissible towed weight must
be reduced by 10 %.
The towed weight is made up of the actual weights
of the loaded towing vehicle and the loaded trailer.
Payloads
It is possible to calculate the approximate maximum
payload from the di
