The brake system comprises two independent

brake circuits.

the gear selector is in position N, the brake

pedal is depressed and and the gear selector

is moved to D or M

If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can still be

braked using the other brake circuit. However,

braking effect is achieved only when the brake

pedal is depressed firmly. Considerably more

force is needed for this. The braking distance

is extended. Seek the assistance of a workshop

before continuing the journey.

When the engine is not running, the support of

the brake servo unit disappears once the brake

pedal has been depressed once or twice.

Braking effect is not reduced, but braking

requires significantly greater force. It is

especially important to bear this in mind when

being towed.

Warning

Always apply parking brake firmly without

operating the release button, and apply as

firmly as possible on a downhill or uphill

slope. To release the parking brake, pull the

lever up slightly, press the release button and

fully lower the lever. To reduce the operating

forces of the parking brake, depress the foot

brake at the same time.

As soon as the traffic conditions permit,

regenerate the filter by driving at a vehicle speed

of at least 60 km/h until the control indicator

extinguishes.

This mode is active up to a speed of 60 km/h.

Sand mode

NOTE:

At start-up, this mode allows a small amount

of simultaneous wheel spin on the two drive

wheels, enabling the vehicle to advance and

reduce the risk of sinking.

When advancing, the system allows the usage of

a higher wheel spin to enable more propulsion.

This mode is active up to a speed of 60 km/h.

On a new vehicle, the first exhaust filter

regeneration operations may be accompanied

by a burning smell, which is normal. Following

prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low

speed or at idle, water vapour can be emitted at

the exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect

the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.

General information

If the vehicle is charged at a public DC charging

station, no DC conversion is required. The high

voltage battery can be directly charged with DC

provided by the DC charging station.

The speed of charging the vehicle's high-voltage

battery depends upon the weakest element of

the charging chain. To achieve the maximum

charging speed, charging cable and charging

device must be attuned to each other.

Warning

Persons with a pacemaker or similar

devices should consult a doctor for possible

precautions.

A wallbox is a charging unit for private

Rear axle load

Towing Device

When the trailer is coupled and the towing

vehicle fully loaded, the permissible rear

axle load (see identification plate or vehicle

documents) may be exceeded by 60 kg,

the gross vehicle weight rating must not be

exceeded. If the permissible rear axle load

is exceeded, a maximum speed of 100 km/h

applies.

5

The permissible trailer loads are vehicle and

engine-dependent maximum values that must

not be exceeded. The actual trailer load is the

difference between the actual gross weight of

the trailer and the actual coupling socket load

with the trailer coupled.

The permissible trailer loads are specified in the

vehicle documents. In general, they are valid for

gradients up to 12%.

The permissible trailer load applies up to

the specified incline and at sea level. Since

engine power decreases as altitude increases

due to the air becoming thinner, therefore

reducing climbing ability, the permissible gross

train weight also decreases by 10% for every

1000 metres of altitude. The gross train weight

does not have to be reduced when driving on

roads with slight inclines (less than 8%, e.g.

motorways).

-

Do not drive with an open load compartment.

The payload is the difference between

the permitted gross vehicle weight (see

identification plate) and the kerb weight.

To calculate the payload, enter the data for

your vehicle in the weights table at the front

of this manual.

The kerb weight includes weights for the

driver (68 kg), luggage (7 kg) and all fluids

(fuel tank 90% full).

Towing equipment

Depending on version the vehicle can be fitted

with a detachable or a fixed coupling ball bar.

Type A

Optional equipment and accessories

increase the kerb weight.

Caution

When operating without a trailer, remove

the coupling ball bar.

-

Driving with a roof load increases the

sensitivity of the vehicle to cross-winds and

has a detrimental effect on vehicle handling

due to the vehicle's higher centre of gravity.

Distribute the load evenly and secure it

properly with retaining straps. Adjust the tyre

pressure and vehicle speed according to

the load conditions. Check and retighten the

straps frequently.

Fitting the coupling ball bar

The permissible gross train weight must not

be exceeded. This weight is specified on the

identification plate.

When distributing the loads in the trailer, heavy

objects should be placed as close as possible to

the axle.

Do not drive faster than 120 km/h.

Vertical coupling load

The vertical coupling load is the load exerted by

the trailer on the coupling ball. It can be varied

by changing the weight distribution when loading

the trailer.

Trailer towing

Only use towing equipment that has been

approved for the vehicle.

The maximum permissible vertical coupling

load is specified on the towing equipment

identification plate and in the vehicle documents.

Always aim for the maximum vertical coupling

load, especially in the case of heavy trailers. The

vertical coupling load should never fall below 25

kg.
