204 Driving and operation
Autom atic level control 3
Autom atic level control makes it possible to
keep the height of the vehicle constant
when subjected to different loads in the
rea r (e.g. when towing a caravan/trailer).
This significantly improves driving
conditions.
The vehic le is automatically ra ised at the
rear, increasing the spring tra vel and
ground c learance.
The automatic level control system is
activated after ap prox. 2 miles (3 k m),
depending on the vehicle load ing and the
na ture of the road surface.
Head lig ht range adjustment –
see p age 131.
Do not use full load in the event of faults.
Have the ca use of the fault rectified
straight awa y by a workshop.
Tyre p ressure monitoring system 3
The tyre p ressure monitoring system
continuously monitors the pressure of all
four tyres while the vehicle is being driven.
A pressure sensor is integrated in each
wheel. Once each m inute, the pressure of
each tyre is sent to a control unit for
compa rison. if the system detects one or
more pressure differenc es, control
indicator
w
illum inates or fla shes red. In
vehicles with check control 3 , the exact
pressure of the tyre in question appears on
the information display.
In v ehicles with Graphical Information
Display 3 or Colour Inform ation Display 3
and trip c om puter 3 , current tyre pressures
can b e shown in the inform ation display.
For the system to be operational, all wheels
must be eq uipped with pressure sensors
and a ll tyres must be inflated to the
prescribed pressure. The tyre pressure
monitoring system automatically detects
if the vehicle is being d riv en with a load of
up to 3 persons or a full load.
