Operation with a trailer or bicycle rack
If the electrical connection to the transport equip-
ment, such as a trailer or a bicycle rack, is estab-
lished correctly, the vehicle detects trailer opera-
tion. In trailer operation, the vehicle is lowered to
low level -1 from a speed of approx. 30 km/h
regardless of the drive program selected. The
vehicle will remain set at low level -1 for the dura-
tion of the trailer operation.
▌Setting the vehicle level
& WARNING Risk of accident because vehi-
cle 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, other people could
become trapped if their limbs are between the
vehicle body and the tyres 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 AIR BODY CONTROL or level
control system: when you unload luggage or
leave the vehicle, the vehicle first rises slightly
and then returns to the set level shortly after-
wards.
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.
