Sequential M gearbox with Drivelogic*
69
In the sequential mode you can choose Gradient assistance
from six driving programs ranging from
balanced, dynamic driving – 1 – to
sporty, puristic driving – 6. The sporty,
puristic driving program can only be
activated when Dynamic Stability Con-
trol DSC is switched off, refer to
page 82.
The gradient assistance enables start-
ing off on grades with virtually no roll-
back. It can be activated in the sequen-
tial and automated mode with the vehi-
cle stopped and can be used for both
forward and reverse driving.
The vehicle may roll slightly before
it is held by the gradient assis-
tance after releasing the footbrake.
Two seconds after the footbrake is
released, the vehicle begins to roll, as it
is no longer held with the gradient
assistance.<
To maintain vehicle stability,
always drive with the DSC acti-
vated on whenever possible.<
