Hill start assist system
G
Warning!
The hill start assist system is not designed
to function as a parking brake and does not
prevent the vehicle from moving when
parked on an incline.
Always engage the parking brake in
addition to shifting the automatic
transmission into park position P (manual
transmission: shift into 1st gear or reverse
gear R).
On uphill grades with a gradient angle of more
than 5°, the hill start assist system maintains
the pressure in the brake system for
approximately 1 second after you have
released the brake pedal. Therefore, you can
start off smoothly without the vehicle moving
immediately after releasing the brake pedal.

Depress the brake pedal.

Manual transmission: Shift into 1st gear
or reverse gear R.

Slowly release the clutch pedal, removing
your foot from the brake pedal at the same
time, and carefully depress the accelerator
pedal.

Automatic transmission: Shift into drive
position D or reverse position R.

All-wheel drive (4MATIC)
Your vehicle is equipped with all-wheel drive
(4MATIC). Both, the front and rear axles, are
powered at all times when the vehicle is being
operated. The 4MATIC improves traction in
conjunction with the ESP
®
(Y page 68) and
the Electronic Traction System (ETS/4-ETS)
(Y page 69).
