Choose your drive modes
There are up to 6 different driving modes available in the new Amarok which can be selected for different driving conditions. In conjunction with the drive modes, the 4WD settings need to be adjusted manually in the Part-Time models (Life & Style), and these are changed automatically in the Selectable models (PanAmericana & Aventura) but can also be changed manually as required.
Hill start/descent
The new Amarok has systems in place to help facilitate starting on inclines when out driving. The vehicle automatically detects when the vehicle is at an incline and a standstill. The vehicle will automatically hold the vehicle on the incline for 2-3 seconds after you release the brake to allow preparation to start driving.
Your Amarok provides you with a controlled and comfortable downhill descent at a constant speed. The hill descent setting is active up to 36km/h and passive to 68km/h, with speed controlled through the steering wheel Adaptive Cruise Control plus and minus buttons.
Your Individual key set up
With your driver assistance systems, you are able to program your individual keys with predetermined settings. Speed limits can be restricted and audio system levels and settings can be controlled. This way you can make sure your kids have limitations if they borrow your vehicle or your employees have speed limit controls in company vehicles.
Quick access to key drive features
With the press of a button, your Amarok's infotainment screen will bring up two key drive assistance features, Auto Hold and Auto Start/Stop. Quick access gives you the option to engage and disengage these features as you need to. Auto Hold keeps your vehicle stationary until the accelerator is engaged, and Auto Stop/Start turns your engine off when you come to a stop and re-starts when you move again.

The IQ.Light detects oncoming traffic and can switch off individual light beams to not dazzle oncoming vehicles. Providing a safer driving environment and also greater comfort while driving in low-light conditions.
