Chassis and suspension tuning<br />
You can choose between two types of chassis<br />
and suspension tuning.<br />
> Normal:<br />
The com<strong>for</strong>table basic setting offers optimum<br />
com<strong>for</strong>t when traveling.<br />
> Sport:<br />
The sporty basic setting offers increased<br />
driving agility.<br />
Selecting chassis and suspension<br />
tuning<br />
Press the button.<br />
The system switches between the two chassis<br />
and suspension tuning settings.<br />
> Sport:<br />
The LED in the button lights up and SPORT<br />
is displayed in the instrument panel.<br />
> Normal:<br />
The LED in the button goes out.<br />
The selection of the chassis and suspension<br />
tuning setting is stored <strong>for</strong> the remote control<br />
currently in use.<br />
Drive-off assistant<br />
The drive-off assistant enables you to start off<br />
conveniently on slopes. The parking brake is<br />
<strong>no</strong>t required <strong>for</strong> this purpose.<br />
1. Hold the vehicle with the brake pedal.<br />
2. Release the brake pedal and immediately<br />
drive off quickly.<br />
The drive-off assistant holds the vehicle<br />
<strong>for</strong> approx. 2 seconds after releasing the<br />
brake pedal. Depending on the load, the vehicle<br />
may also roll back slightly during this time.<br />
After releasing the brake pedal, immediately<br />
start quickly, otherwise the drive-off assistant<br />
<strong>no</strong> longer holds the vehicle after approx.<br />
2 seconds and it begins to roll back.<<br />
Self-leveling suspension*<br />
The concept<br />
The self-leveling suspension on the rear axle<br />
assures a continuous ground clearance.<br />
To do so, the height of the vehicle is measured<br />
by sensors at both rear wheels.<br />
If the actual height deviates from the defined<br />
height, e.g. due to loading of the vehicle, then<br />
this difference is compensated <strong>for</strong> very quickly.<br />
In addition, spring motions resulting from cornering<br />
or irregularities in the road surface are<br />
reduced to a minimum.<br />
The system functions automatically.<br />

FTM Flat Tire Monitor*<br />
The concept<br />
The system does <strong>no</strong>t measure the actual inflation<br />
pressure in the tires.<br />
The system detects a pressure loss in a tire by<br />
comparing the rotational speeds of the individual<br />
wheels while moving.<br />
In the event of a pressure loss, the diameter and<br />
there<strong>for</strong>e the rotational speed of the corresponding<br />
wheel change. This is detected and<br />
reported as a flat tire.<br />
