or do you have to select it before engine is started, too?
Asuming, you can't switch it on while moving, it means when I come to a hill and I want to use it I have to stop the car first and then switch it on.
Presumingly I loose the time advantage to going up this hill, I would have from a better gear ratio for this hill, just because I had to stop first.
So is it only a "starting off thing (Anfahrtshilfe)".

I don't think I get the logic of having this.
Something is so far a bit contradictive.
Maybe it's ZF, who have found out that the valve will do what you say and therefore have given this recommendation with hindsight.

It's like having a feature, which you can't use as intended or it will brake.
I am sure we are all dying to find out the logic in this.

Best Regards
Ralf
