Low Speed Assistant
The Low Speed Assistant gives assistance at
very low speeds. The vehicle travels at walking
speed and automatically controls the speed of
the engine.
This can also be used for rocking the vehicle in
the snow. To do this, switch between reverse
gear and forward gear without stepping on the
brakes in the process.

The vehicle rolls at minimum speed.
This is possible in 1st and 2nd gear and in re‐
verse gear.

transmission may overheat.◀
Deactivating

tion mechanism, which protects the clutch

quent starts.
