Function of individual wheel control
& WARNING Risk of becoming trapped
due to the vehicle lowering
The vehicle can be lowered when the individ‐
ual wheel control function has been activa‐
ted. Body parts could become trapped if they
are between the vehicle body and the tires or
underneath the vehicle.
Make sure that nobody is under the
#
vehicle or in the immediate vicinity of
the wheel arches when individual wheel
control is activated.
* NOTE Risk of damage due to the vehicle
moving up and down
The vehicle can be lowered or raised on one
or more wheels when the individual wheel
control function has been activated. Vehicle
parts could be damaged due to contact with
objects.
Make sure that the vehicle has suffi‐
#
cient room to move when the individual
wheel control function has been activa‐
ted.
Individual wheel control is a function of the sus‐
pension, which can be used to set the vehicle
level for each wheel individually. This can help to
improve alignment of the body when driving off-
road.
You can activate individual wheel control via Off-
road Assist ( page 223).

Adjusting the vehicle level (vehicles with E-
ACTIVE BODY CONTROL)
& WARNING Risk of accident because
vehicle level is too high
Driving characteristics may be impaired.
The vehicle can drift outwards, for example,
when steering or cornering.
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 becoming trapped
due to the vehicle 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.
