AIR BODY CONTROL is an air suspension system with variable damping for improved driving com-
fort. The all-round level control system ensures
the best possible suspension and constant ground
clearance, even with a laden vehicle. When driving
at speed, the vehicle is lowered automatically to
improve driving safety and to reduce fuel con-
sumption. You also have the option of manually
adjusting the vehicle level.
AIR BODY CONTROL includes the following com- ponents and functions:
= Air suspension with variable spring rate
= Automatic level control system
= Speed-dependent lowering to reduce fuel con-
sumption
= Manually selectable high-level setting for
greater ground clearance
= ADS PLUS (Adaptive Damping System with
constant damping force adjustment)
= DYNAMIC SELECT switch and level button

q Setting the vehicle level&WARNING Risk of accident because vehi-
cle level is too high
Driving characteristics may be impaired.
The vehicle can dris outwards, for example,
when steering or cornering.
Choose a vehicle level which is suited to
the driving style and the road surface
conditions.&WARNING Risk of entrapment from vehi-
cle lowering
When lowering the vehicle, people could become trapped if their limbs are between the
vehicle body and the tires or underneath the vehicle.
Make sure no one is underneath the
vehicle or in the immediate vicinity of the wheel arches when the vehicle is being
lowered.&WARNING Risk of becoming trapped due
to the vehicle lowering
Vehicles with AIR BODY CONTROL or level
control system: when you unload luggage or
leave the vehicle, the vehicle Nrst rises slightly
and then returns to the set level shortly aser-
wards.
You or anyone else in the vicinity of the wheel arches or the underbody could thus becometrapped.
The vehicle can also be lowered aser being
locked.
224Driving and parking

When leaving the vehicle, make sure thatnobody is in the vicinity of the wheelarches 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 curbs underneath or in the
immediate vicinity of the body when the
vehicle is being lowered.*NOTE Mercedes-AMG vehiclesObserve the notes in the Supplement.
You could otherwise fail to recognize
dangers.

Rear view camera

qFunction of the rear view camera
The rear view camera is only an aid. It is not a
substitute for your attention to the surroundings. The responsibility for safe maneuvering and park-
ing remains with you. Make sure that there are no persons, animals or objects, etc. in the maneuver-ing area while maneuvering and parking.
The guide lines in the media display show the dis-
tances to your vehicle. The distances displayed
only apply to road level.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, you can
select from the following views:
= Normal view
= Wide-angle view
The area behind the vehicle is displayed as a mir- ror image, as in the inside rearview mirror.

360° camera

q Function of the 360° Camera
The 360° Camera is a system that consists of
four cameras that cover the immediate surround- ings of the vehicle. The system assists you whenyou are parking or at exits with reduced visibility,forexample.
The views of the 360° Camera are always availa-ble when the vehicle is being driven forwards up
to a speed of approx. 10 mph (16 km/h) and when it is being backed up.
The 360° Camera is only an aid and may show a
distorted view of obstacles, show them incorrectly
or not show them at all. It is not a substitute for
your attention to the surroundings. Responsibility
for safe maneuvering and parking remains with you. Make sure that there are no persons, animals
or objects etc., in the maneuvering area while
maneuvering and parking.
The system evaluates images from the following
cameras:
= Rear view camera
= Front camera
= Two side cameras in the outside mirrorsViews of the 360° Camera1Wide-angle view, front2Top view with image from the front camera3Top view with images from the side cameras

trailer hitch)
Function of the guide lines
Guide lines are also displayed in the camera
images of the top views. These are based on the
228Driving and parking

current steering angle and show the distance to
objects and other vehicles.1Guide lines at a distance of approximately 1.6 s (0.5 m), 3.3 s (1.0 m), 5 s (1.5 m) and

The guide lines show the distances to your
vehicle. The distances apply to road level.
In all views, the Parking Assist PARKTRONIC warn-
ing display is also shown (  page 231).
The color of warning display changes dynamically and is based on the distance to the detected
obstacle:
= Blue: no obstacles detected at a distance less
than 3.3 s (1.0 m)
= Yellow: obstacles at a distance between
approximately 2.3 s (0.7 m) and 3.3 s (1.0 m)
= Orange: obstacles at a distance between
approximately 1.3 s (0.4 m) and 2.3 s (0.7 m)
= Red: obstacles at a very short distance of
approximately 1.3 s (0.4 m) or less

System limits
If the system is not ready for operation, the Sys-
tem Inoperative message appears in the media
display.
The 360° Camera will not function or will function
only partially in the following situations:
= You are driving forwards at a speed greater
than approximately 10 mph (16 km/h).
= The doors are open.
= An outside mirror is not completely folded out.
= The trunk lid is open.
= The weather conditions are poor, e.g. heavy
rain, snow, fog, storm or spray.
= The ambient light is poor, e.g. at night.
= The camera lens is obstructed, dirty or fogged
up.
= If cameras or vehicle components in which the
cameras are installed are damaged. In this event, have the cameras, their positions andtheir setting checked at a qualiNed specialist
