pensate for the reduced braking effect by
applying greater force to the brake pedal.
Notes on optimized acceleration
If all necessary requirements and activation con‐
ditions are fulfilled, the best possible accelera‐
tion can be achieved from a standstill.
Do not use the optimized acceleration on public
roads. Individual wheels could spin and you
could lose control of the vehicle. There is an
increased risk of skidding and/or accident.
Be sure to observe the safety notes and informa‐
tion on ESP

Pulling away with optimized acceleration
& WARNING Risk of skidding and having
an accident from wheels spinning
When you use optimized acceleration, indi‐
vidual wheels could spin and you could lose
control of the vehicle.
If ESP
®
is deactivated, there is a risk of skid‐
ding and accident.

NOTE Increased wear due to optimized
acceleration
When pulling away with optimized accelera‐
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 203).
#
Move the steering wheel to the straight-
ahead position.
#
Select the sportiest available drive program
B or C (
/
page 199).
#
Deactivate ESP ® (
/
page 219).
#
Depress and hold the brake pedal firmly with
your left foot.
#
With your right foot, fully depress the accel‐
erator pedal.
#
After no more than five seconds, take your
left foot quickly off the brake, but keep the
accelerator pedal depressed.
The vehicle pulls away at maximum accelera‐
tion.
#
Switch on ESP ® once the acceleration proce‐
dure is complete.
Ending optimized acceleration
#
Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
#
Reactivate the ESP
