WARNING Risk of accident because
ve hicle le vel is too high
If yo u drive at a higher vehicle le vel,th e driv‐
ing characteristics may be impaired due to
th e higher vehicle centre of gravity.
The vehicle may tip over more quickly on a
bend, forex ample. #
Alw ays select as low a vehicle le vel as
possible and adapt your driving style
accordin gly. &
WARNING Risk of entrapment from vehi‐
cle lo wering

could become trapped if their limbs are
between theve hicle body and the tyres or
underneath theve hicle. #
Make sure no one is underneath the
ve hicle or in the immediate vicinity of
th e wheel ar ches when you lo werthe

Do not use the 360° Camera under such circum‐
st ances. You could otherwise injure others or
collide with objects when parking theve hicle. On
vehicles with height-adjus table suspension or
if th eve hicle is car rying a heavy load, leaving the
st andard height can result in inaccuracies in the
guide lines and in the display of thege nerated
ima ges, depending on tech nical conditions.
The field of vision and other functions of the
