wheel arches when individual wheel con-
trol 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 sufficient
#
room to move when the individual wheel
control function has been activated.
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 407).

& 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 AIRMATIC or level control: when
you unload luggage or leave the vehicle, 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 kerbs underneath or in the
immediate vicinity of the body when the
vehicle is being lowered.
