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.

The following conditions must be met for the
engine to auto-start.
Release the brake pedal. The engine will

tions may be temporarily reduced, however,
such as the climate system's blower speed or
extremely high audio system volume.
When Adaptive Cruise Control or Pilot
Assist are activated, the engine will auto-
start when the accelerator pedal is

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

Leveling control settings*
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.

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.
