Setting the vehicle level
& WARNING Risk of accident because
vehicle level is too high
If you drive at a higher vehicle level, the driv‐
ing characteristics may be impaired due to
the higher vehicle center of gravity.
The vehicle can drift outwards, for example,
when steering or cornering.
Always choose a vehicle level which is
#
suited to the driving style and the road
surface conditions.
& WARNING Risk of entrapment from vehi‐
cle lowering
When lowering the vehicle, people could
become trapped if their limbs are between
the vehicle body and the tires or underneath
the vehicle.
Make sure no one is underneath the
#
vehicle or in the immediate vicinity of
the wheel arches when the vehicle is
being lowered.
& WARNING Risk of entrapment from vehi‐
cle lowering
Vehicles with AIRMATIC or level control:
When you unload luggage or leave the vehi‐
cle, the vehicle first rises slightly and then
returns to the set level shortly afterwards.
You or anyone else in the vicinity of the
wheel arches or the underbody could thus
become trapped.
The vehicle can also be lowered after being
locked.
When leaving the vehicle, make sure
#
that nobody is in the vicinity of the
wheel arches or the underbody.
* NOTE Damage due to vehicle lowering
Parts of the body could be damaged when
the vehicle is lowered.
Make sure that there are no obstacles
#
such as curbs underneath or in the
immediate vicinity of the body when the
vehicle is being lowered.
