Hill start assist (HSA)*
The foot brake can be released before setting
off or reversing uphill - the HSA (Hill Start
Assist) function means that the car does not roll
backwards.
The function means that the pedal pressure in
the brake system remains for several seconds
while the driver's foot is moved from brake pedal
to accelerator pedal.
The temporary braking effect releases after sev-
eral seconds or when the driver accelerates.

All-wheel drive - (AWD)
Optimal traction is achieved with all-wheel drive.
Use this button on the centre
console to activate all-wheel
drive (AWD – All Wheel Drive),
see Drive system - drive modes
(p. 268). The mode is primarily
intended for use at low speed
in slippery driving conditions.
All-wheel drive also has a stabilising effect at
higher speeds.
To achieve the best possible traction and prevent
wheel spin the motive force is distributed auto-
matically to the wheels with the best grip. Under
normal driving conditions, the majority of power is
transmitted to the front wheels.
