E- AC TIVE BODY CONTROL is an electrohydraulic
suspension system with variable damping for
impr oved driving comfort. The all-round le vel con-
trol system ensures the best possible suspension
and constant ground clearance, even with a laden
ve hicle. When driving at speed, theve hicle is lo w-

to reduce fuel consum ption. The suspension set-
ting is adjusted depending on thero ad sur face,
ve hicle load and the drive prog ram selected.
The ROAD SURF ACE SCAN function de tects areas
of une venness in thero ad before you drive over th
em bymeans of a multifunction camera. This
re duces chassis mo vements.
The damping is adjus ted individually toeach

ARNI NGRisk of explosion from a frozen
battery
A dischar ged battery may freeze at temp era-

During starting assistance or battery charging,
battery gas can be released. #
Always allow a battery tothaw before
ch arging it or per form ing starting assis-

th e indicator/warning lamps in the inst rument
cluster do not light up at low temp eratures, it is
ve ry likely that the dischar ged battery has frozen. In
this case you may neither jump-start theve hi-

The service life of a bat tery that has been thawed
may be dramatically shor tened. The starting char-

The wheels, valves or tyres could be damaged.
To o low a tyre pressure can lead tothe tyres
bursting. #
Examine the tyres forfo re ign objects. #
Check whe ther the tyre has a puncture
or theva lve has a leak. #
Ifyo u are unable torectify the damage,
contact a quali/ed specialist workshop. Information on

Use a suitable pressure gauge tocheck the tyre
pressure. The outer appearance of a tyre does not
permit any reliable conclusion about the tyre pres-
sure.
Only cor rect tyre pressures when the tyres are
cold. Conditions for cold tyres:
R The vehicle has been par ked with the tyres out
of direct sunlight for at least thre e hours.
R The vehicle has tr avelled less than 1.6 km.
The vehicle's tyres heat up when driving. As the
