NOTE Increased wear due to optimized
acceleration
When pulling away with optimized accelera‐
tion, all components of the drivetrain are
subjected to a very high load.
This can lead to increased component wear.
#
Do not always pull away with optimized
acceleration.
#
Engage the h drive position (/ page 146).
#
Move the steering wheel to the straight-
ahead position.
#

After no more than five seconds, take your
left foot quickly off the brake, but keep the
accelerator pedal depressed.
The vehicle pulls away at maximum accelera‐
tion.

After you pull away with optimized accelera‐
tion, components of the drivetrain can
become very hot, which means that opti‐
mized acceleration values may be reached
again only after a few minutes.
Notes on driving
&
WARNING Risk of accident due to
objects in the driver's footwell
Objects in the driver's footwell may impede
pedal travel or block a depressed pedal.
This jeopardizes the operating and road
safety of the vehicle.
#
Stow all objects in the vehicle securely
so that they cannot get into the driver's
footwell.
#
Always install the floor mats securely
and as prescribed in order to ensure
that there is always sufficient room for
the pedals.
#
Do not use loose floor mats and do not
place floor mats on top of one another.
