WARNING Risk of entrapment from vehi‐
cle lo wering
When lo wering theve hicle, people could
become trapped if their limbs are between
th eve hicle body and the tires or underneath
th eve 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
ve hicle. &
WARNING Risk of inju ryfrom jack tip‐
ping
If yo u park a vehicle with air suspension, the
air suspension may remain activated for up to
one hour, even when the ignition is switched
off. If youth en raise theve hicle with the jac k,
th e air suspension will attem pttoadjust the

WARNING Risk of accident due tolow‐
ered or raised chassis
Driving with a lo wered or raised chassis may
greatly impair braking and handling charac‐
te rist ics. You may also exceed the permissible
ve hicle height when thech assis is raised. #
Set the driving le vel before pulling away. &
WARNING Risk of accident from mal‐
function of electronic le vel control
If elect ronic le vel control is malfunctioning,
th eve hicle le vel may be asymmetrical, too
high or too lo w.
The driving and steering characteristics of the

le ve l may be lo wered. #
Pay attention tothero ad conditions and
ensure there is suf ficient ground clear‐
ance. #
Drive carefully. The le
vel of theve hicle depends on vehicle load
and the load distribution. Elect ronic le vel control
adjusts the le vel of there ar axle automatically on
ve hicles with an air-sprung rear axle. The vehicle
le ve l is thereby alw ays maintained at the driving
le ve l,re ga rdless of vehicle load. Driving dynamics
re main unaf fected. The height dif fere nce
between the sides of theve hicle may be up to
0.4 in (1 cm). Electronic le
vel control is not engine-dependent
and is only operational when the ignition is
switched on. The electronic le vel control com‐
pressor works audibl y.
% If
th e compressor works cons tantly or starts
up se veral times per minute, elect ronic le vel
control is malfunctioning.
Depending on theve hicle equipment, electronic
le ve l control switches between manual and auto‐
matic mode depending on either theve hicle
speed or the position of the parking brake.
If electronic le vel control switches depending on
ve hicle speed, manual operation is automatically
activated when theve hicle is stationar y.Yo u may
ra ise or lo werth eve hicle le vel. If you subse‐
qu ently drive faster than 6 mph (10 km/h), man‐
ual mode is automatically deactivated and auto‐
matic mode sets theve hicle le vel.
If elect ronic le vel control switches depending on
th e parking brake position, manual mode is auto‐
matically activated when the parking brake is
applied. You may raise or lo werth eve hicle le vel
to load and unload. If youre lease the parking
brake, manual mode is automatically deactivated
and automatic mode sets the driving le vel.
When working on theve hicle or changing a
wheel, you can deactivate electronic le vel control
(/ page 123).
If electronic le vel control is malfunctioning or the
ve hicle le vel is too high or too lo w,an audible sig‐
nal sounds.
The driving and steering characteristics of the
ve hicle will be noticeably dif fere nt. Electronic
le ve l control adjusts theve hicle le velto the nor‐
mal le vel as soon as possible. Continue driving
carefully until the audible signal stops. Only then
is theve hicle at normal le vel.
Au tomatic mode and electronic le vel control
automatically switch on again torestore theve hi‐
cle le vel, depending on the option selected:
R when the parking brake is released
R from speeds of appr oximately 6 mph
(10 km/h)
If th e electronic le vel control compressor thre at‐
ens to ov erheat, e.g. due torepeated raising or

control is deactivated. You can raise or lo werthe
