driving on unpaved roads. Depending on equipment,
the following drive and chassis systems are adapted
to the currently selected driving program: engine,
transmission, PTM, PTV Plus, PASM, chassis height,
PSM, PDCC. This enables optimal vehicle handling
for the respective driving scenario.
The following off-road driving programs are
available:
GRAVEL

example.
MUD
Suitable for driving on muddy roads and tracks, for
example.

ing program automatically switches back to the
NORMAL on-road driving program.
Information

if the driving conditions change, e.g. if the vehicle is
then driven on the road and/or at a higher speed.
The transmission and chassis control systems then
adapt to suit the changed driving conditions and
speeds.

Tilt indicator
bb Vehicles with Offroad package
The current angular position of the vehicle relative to
the horizontal position can be displayed in the
OFFROAD menu in the PCM and depending on ve-
hicle equipment, also in the head-up display. The
angular position is divided into a longitudinal and
transverse tilt angle. The steering angle is also
displayed.
Information
When a certain speed is exceeded, the tilt indicator
display is deactivated and the value (- - -) is
displayed.
CAUTION
Discrepancies in display
The accuracy of the tilt indicator depends on the
current driving situation and may differ from the ac-
tual angular position of the vehicle or there may be a
time delay.
e Always pay attention to the vehicle surroundings.
WARNING
Lack of attention
The vehicle can tip over or slip even at a slight tilt
due to the driving situation and/or road surface.
e Responsibility for assessing the driving situation
and obstacles ultimately lies with the driver.
e Drive with extreme care.
