Vehicle level control*
The vehicle level control automatically

앫
improve driving stability by lowering
the center of gravity
The vehicle automatically regulates its ride
height based on the set vehicle height and
the current speed:
앫
The ride height of the vehicle is re-
duced with increasing vehicle speed.
앫
The ride height of the vehicle changes
from the high-speed level back to the
normal highway level as the vehicle
speed is decreased.
The parked vehicle begins adjusting to the
set vehicle level as soon the doors and tail-
gate are
앫
unlocked
or
앫
opened.
In order to operate the vehicle level control
switch (
컄
page 252), however, the engine
must be running.
For safety reasons, the vehicle lowers only
when all doors are closed. The lowering
procedure is interrupted as soon as a door
is opened. The lowering will resume as
soon as all doors are closed.

The setting is stored when you turn off
the engine.
Warning!
G
Please be aware that by raising the vehicle
level, the center of gravity also rises. There-
fore, always ensure that the vehicle level is
as low as possible. With higher ride height
the ESP
®
may activate earlier in certain
situations.
Warning!
G
Make sure that no one is near the wheel
housing or under the vehicle when you lower
the vehicle while it is standing still. Limbs
could become wedged into or under the ve-
hicle.
For safety reasons, the vehicle can only be
lowered with the doors closed. Lowering is
interrupted if a door is opened and will con-
tinue after the door is closed again.
