STARTING AND DRIVING

Loading mode
Use the buttons in the cargo area to regulate the
height of the car's rear section and facilitate
loading/unloading or when connecting/discon-
necting a trailer. See the section "Loading".
During parking
During parking, make sure you allow adequate
space above and below the car since the car's
ground clearance may vary e.g. depending on the
outside temperature, how the car is loaded, the
use of loading mode or the drive mode that is
selected after starting.
The level may also be adjusted a period after the
car is parked. This is to compensate for any
height changes that may occur due to tempera-
ture changes in the air springs when the car
cools down.
During transport
During transport of the car on a ferry, train or
truck, the car must be lashed around the tyres
and not around other parts of the chassis.
Changes in the air suspension may occur during
transport, which could affect the lashing nega-
tively.

All-wheel drive
All-wheel drive, AWD (All Wheel Drive), means
that the car is driving all four wheels at the same
time, which improves traction.
The electric motor that drives the rear wheels
enables electric all-wheel drive functionality.
To achieve the best possible traction and prevent
wheel spin the motive force is distributed auto-
matically to the wheels with the best grip. The
system continuously calculates the need for tor-
que to the rear wheels, and can immediately
redistribute up to half of the motor's torque to the
rear wheels.
All-wheel drive also has a stabilising effect at
higher speeds. Under normal driving conditions,
the majority of power is transmitted to the front
wheels. When stationary, the all-wheel drive is
always engaged in preparation for maximum trac-
tion during acceleration.
All-wheel drive characteristics vary depending on
the selected drive mode.
