All-wheel drive
Notes on all-wheel drive
All-wheel drive ensures permanent drive for all
four wheels, and together with ESP
®
it improves
the traction of the vehicle.
The traction control of the all-wheel drive also
takes place via the brake system. Therefore, the
brake system can overheat during extreme off-
road use. In this case, ease off the accelerator
pedal or stop to allow the brake system to cool
down.
If a driven wheel spins due to insufficient trac‐
tion, observe the following notes:
R
when pulling away, make use of the traction
control integrated in ESP
®
. Depress the
accelerator pedal as far as necessary.
