Important safety notes
When driving with a lowered or raised chassis,
the driving and braking characteristics may be
affected. Additionally, the maximum permitted
vehicle height may be exceeded when the chas-
sis is raised. Observe the legally permissible
vehicle heights for the country you are currently
in.
Set the driving level before pulling away.
It is necessary to raise or lower the chassis to
pick up or set down demountable bodies or
semitrailers. If you continue a journey after hav-
ing changed the chassis height, it is necessary
to lower or raise the chassis to driving level.
If the yellow ¸ indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster lights up, the chassis is not at driv-
ing level. Observe the additional information in
the event window.
When loading/unloading the vehicle with the
ignition switched off, observe the information in
the section "Loading and unloading the vehicle
when the ignition is switched off"

Vehicles with 8x4/4 or 8x2/4 axle configura-
Side‐
tions with air-sprung rear axle: when operating
the vehicle without add-on equipment, make
sure that the chassis frame is always fully
raised. Otherwise, you could damage the air bel-
lows on the rear axle. Further information on the
characteristics of possible add-on equipment
can be found in the body/equipment mounting
directives.
Vehicles equipped with "driving level lowered"
and/or with low profile tyres: avoid operating
the vehicle with a lowered chassis frame. Driv-
ing with a lowered chassis frame increases wear
and tear on the vehicle and reduces driving com-
fort.
