* NOTE Increased wear due to optimized
acceleration

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 138).
#
Move the steering wheel to the straight-
ahead position.

erator pedal.
#
After no more than five seconds, take your
left foot quickly off the brake, but keep the
accelerator pedal depressed.

dure is complete.
Ending optimized acceleration

become very hot, which means that opti‐
mized acceleration values may be reached
again only after a few minutes.
