Traction in steep terrain
The maximum vehicle climbing ability is a
100%
grade which is equivalent to a slope
angle of 45°. Keep in mind that the climbing
ability of the vehicle depends on terrain
conditions.
Be easy on the accelerator and watch for
continuous wheel traction when driving in
steep terrain.
RComply with the warnings (Y page 249) and
rules for off-road driving (Y page 250).
RDriving on embankments, slopes and other
steep inclines should only be done straight
up or downhill, i.e. in the line of gravity.
Maximum vehicle climbing ability is a
i The 4-ETS helps greatly when starting out
on a steep incline when the front wheels
have then the tendency to slip due to the
weight shifting towards the rear axle.
The 4-ETS recognizes the situation and
limits the torque for the front wheels by
braking them.

RShift automatic transmission into gear
range 1 (Y page 113).
RDrive slowly.
Simultaneously the torque for the rear
wheels is increased.
RAvoid excessive engine speeds – drive with
moderate engine speeds (max. 3000 rpm).
Driving across a hilltop
RUtilize the engine’s braking power when
descending a slope, observe the engine
speed (do not overrev the engine). Apply
the service brake as needed.
Decelerate just ahead of a hilltop (do not shift
automatic transmission into neutral position
N), to prevent the vehicle from speeding up
too much after climbing a hill.
Use the momentum of the vehicle to drive
across the hilltop.
i For maximum engine speed, see
“Tachometer” (Y page 119) and see vehicle
