270 Driving and parking
& 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.
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.
* NOTE Mercedes-AMG vehicles
Observe the notes in the Supplement.
