169Driving an d Operation
When driving downhill, the brakes are
under considerab ly m ore load when towing
a caravan / trailer. For this reason, drive in
the same gear as if driving uphill and drive
at a similar speed.
Automatic transmission 3 or Easytronic 3
in Autom atic mode will automatically
select the driving prog ramme with the
optimum engine braking effect.
As necessary, gear 3, 2 or 1 can also be
manually selected.
The cooling fan is electrically operated. Its
cooling power is therefore independent of
the engine speed.
Since a considerable amount of heat is
generated at high engine speeds and less
at slower speeds, do not shift down when
climbing hills whilst the vehicle is still coping
with the gradient in the higher gear.
Star ting o n inclines
For vehicles with manual transmission,
the most favourable engine speed when
starting-off on an incline is between
2500and 3000 rpm for petrol engines and
between 2000 and 2200 rpm for diesel
engines. Hold engine speed constant,
engage clutch gradually (let slip), release
ha ndb ra ke and open throttle. If possible,
the engine speed should not drop during
this procedure.
For vehicles with automatic transmission 3
or Eas ytro nic 3 it suffices to apply full
throttle in Automatic mode.
Before starting-off under extreme
conditions (high combination w eight,
mountainous terrain with steep inclines),
switch off all unnecessary electrical loads
(e.g. heated rear window, air conditioning
sy ste m 3, heated front seats 3).
