STARTING AND DRIVING

With Adaptive Cruise Control or Pilot Assist

activated, the engine will auto-stop about

three seconds after the vehicle has stopped.

Start/Stop function

Driving with the Start/Stop

function

Start/Stop is a function that temporarily

switches off the engine when the vehicle has

stopped, e.g. at a traffic light or in heavy traf-

fic, and then starts it again automatically

when needed.

The Start/Stop function reduces fuel con-

sumption, which helps to reduce exhaust

emissions.

Start/stop is a function that temporarily turns

off the engine when the vehicle is stationary

and then automatically starts it when needed.

The Start/Stop function is available when the

ignition is started and can be activated if cer-

tain conditions are met.

Auto-start

The following conditions must be met for the

engine to auto-start.

Release the brake pedal. The engine will

On an uphill gradient, Hill Start Assist

(HSA¹²) will activate to help prevent the

vehicle from rolling backward.

All of the vehicle's ordinary systems, such as

lighting, radio, etc. function normally when the

engine has been auto-stopped. Certain func-

tions may be temporarily reduced, however,

such as the climate system's blower speed or

extremely high audio system volume.

press the accelerator pedal. The engine

will auto-start.

•

Auto-stop

To auto-stop the engine:

Stop the vehicle by applying the brakes

and keep the brake pedal depressed. The

•

On a downhill gradient: Release the brake

pedal slightly so that the vehicle begins to

roll. The engine will auto-start after a slight

increase in speed.

depressed:

ABS has been activated.

•

Hard braking (even if the ABS system has

not been activated).

High levels of condensation on the inside

of the windows.

•

Many starts during a short period of time

The climate system settings and the

actual climate in the passenger compart-

ment differ.

•

The vehicle has not reached a speed of

ca 10 km/h (6 mph) after starting.

•

The exhaust system's particulate filter is

full

•

The brake pedal is pumped repeatedly.

The hood is open.

•

After several auto-stops, the speed must

again exceed approximately ca 10 km/h

(6 mph) before the next auto-stop.

•

A trailer is connected to the vehicle's elec-

trical system.

The vehicle begins to roll or increases

speed slightly if the engine auto-stopped

before the vehicle was at a standstill.

The transmission is not running at its nor-

mal operating temperature.

The driver has not fastened the seatbelt.

•

The engine is not running at its normal

operating temperature.

The gear selector is in mode M (±).

The driver's seat belt is unbuckled with the

gear selector in the D or N positions.

•

If traffic conditions allow it (for example in

a traffic jam).

The ambient temperature is under

approximately -5 °C (23 °F) or over

approximately 30 °C (86 °F).

•

The gear selector is moved from D to R or

M (±).

The engine does not auto-start

The engine will not auto-start after an auto-

stop if:

The driver's door is opened with the gear

selector in D. An audible signal and a text

ment differ.

The driver is not wearing a seat belt, the

STARTING AND DRIVING

The instrument panel indi-

cates when the suspension

level is being adjusted.

on e.g. ambient temperature, how the vehicle

is loaded, if loading mode is used, which drive

mode is selected after the engine is started,

etc.

Leveling control* and suspension

The vehicle's leveling control system adjusts

the suspension and shock absorbers auto-

matically to help optimize comfort and con-

trol while driving. Leveling can also be con-

trolled manually to facilitate loading or get-

ting in and out of the vehicle.

The level may also be adjusted a period after

the vehicle is parked. This is to compensate

for any height changes that may occur due to

temperature changes in the air springs when

the vehicle cools.

The following apply if a door or the tailgate is

opened:

Pneumatic suspension and shock

absorbers

If a door is opened, the level can only be

adjusted upwards.

•

The system is adapted to the selected drive

mode and vehicle speed. The pneumatic sus-

pension reduces the vehicle's ground clear-

ance at higher speeds to reduce air resistance

and increase stability. The shock absorbers are

normally set to help optimize comfort and are

adjusted continuously according to the road

surface and the vehicle's acceleration, braking

and cornering.

Transporting

When transporting the vehicle on a ferry, train

or truck, only secure (lash) the vehicle around

the tires, not using any other parts of the chas-

sis. Changes in the pneumatic suspension

may occur during transport, which could

adversely affect the lashing and result in dam-

age.

If the tailgate is open, the level can only be

adjusted downwards.

•

Parking

When parking, make sure that there is ade-

quate space above and below the vehicle

since ground clearance may vary depending

Low Speed Control*

The low-speed function (LSC¹³) facilitates

and improves control and traction on rough

roads and slippery surfaces, e.g. when towing

a trailer on grass or up boat ramps.

Turn off leveling control before lifting the

vehicle with a jack to help avoid problems

with the pneumatic suspension.

Select Easy Entry and Exit Suspension

Control.

The vehicle can be lowered or raised to make

it easier to load or for passengers to get in

and out.

> When the vehicle is parked and the

engine is turned off, the level is low-

ered. (Level adjustment will stop if a

side door is opened and will resume

after a slight delay when the door has

been closed.) When the engine is

started and the vehicle begins to move,

the level will be raised to the height set

by the selected drive mode.

In vehicles equipped with drive mode con-

trol*, the function is included in the Off Road

drive mode.

Low Speed Control is designed for driving on

rough roads and when towing trailers at low

speeds, up to approximately 40 km/h (25

mph).

Adjusting loading mode

When driving at low speeds, LSC prioritizes

low gears and all-wheel drive to help avoid

wheel spin and improve traction on all wheels.

The accelerator pedal will be less responsive

to improve traction and speed control at low

speeds.

Disable Leveling Control

In certain situations, this function must be

turned off, e.g. before the vehicle is raised

using a jack*. The level difference caused by

raising the vehicle with a jack could cause

problems with the pneumatic suspension.

The function is activated together with Hill

Descent Control (HDC¹⁴), which makes it pos-

sible to control speed going down steep hills

using the accelerator pedal and reduces the

need to use the brake pedal. The system

makes it possible to maintain a low and uni-

form speed when driving down steep hills.

Turning off the function in the center display:

Use the buttons in the cargo compartment to

raise or lower the rear section of the vehicle to

facilitate loading or unloading the vehicle or

connecting or disconnecting a trailer.
