Drive-off assistant

This system supports driving away on gradients.
The parking brake is not required.

1.

Hold the vehicle in place with the foot brake.

2.

Release the foot brake and drive away with‐
out delay.

After the foot brake is released, the vehicle is
held in place for approx. 2 seconds.
Depending on the vehicle load, the vehicle may
roll back slightly.

Driving off without delay
After releasing the foot brake, start driving

without delay, since the drive-off assistant will
not hold the vehicle in place for more than ap‐
prox. 2 seconds and the vehicle will begin rolling
back.◀
