of the automatic transmission are adapted for
this purpose. ABS, ESP
®

especially adapted to off-road driving are acti-
vated. An accelerator pedal curve suitable for
the terrain is selected, i.e. the accelerator
pedal must be depressed further to acceler-
ate.
Do not use the off-road programs on roads
that are snow-covered or icy or if you have
mounted snow chains on your vehicle.
