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

between the sides of theve hicle may be up to
0.4 in (1 cm). Electronic le

and is only operational when the ignition is
switched on. The electronic le vel control com‐
pressor works audibl y.

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
