function with increased engine braking. The function makes it possible to increase
or decrease the vehicle's speed on steep downhill gradients by only using the accelerator
pedal, without applying the brakes...
A more economical driving style can help lower fuel consumption.
Before driving
If possible, precondition the vehicle before driving.
If preconditioning is not possible when it is cold outside, use seat and
steering wheel heating first...
