Setting the vehicle level
General notes
The vehicle level can be set using the DYNAMIC
SELECT controller (
Y
page 140) or the on-board
computer (
Y
page 178). The setting always cor-
responds to the last selected function.
In order to reduce fuel consumption and
improve the driving dynamics, the vehicle is low-
ered as its speed increases. In the Sport and
Sport Plus drive programs it is lowered by up to
13 mm, and in the Comfort drive program by up
to 5 mm compared to the normal vehicle level.
As the speed is reduced, the vehicle is raised to
the set vehicle height.
If the ignition is switched off for less than four
hours, the previously selected drive program is
activated when the engine is next started. If the
ignition is switched off for more than four hours,
the Comfort drive program is activated when
the engine is next started.
Select the normal level for normal road surfaces
and the raised level for driving with snow chains
or on particularly poor road surfaces.
Important safety notes
The vehicle is slightly lowered when the engine
is switched off.
G
WARNING
People's limbs may become trapped if they
are located underneath the vehicle or
between the vehicle body and the tyres when
the vehicle is lowering. There is a danger of
injury.
When lowering the vehicle, make sure no one
is underneath the vehicle or in the immediate
vicinity of the wheel arches.
!
If you have selected the normal level and
switched the engine off, the vehicle is low-
ered. The vehicle is automatically lowered by
approximately 10 mm. Make sure when park-
ing that you position your vehicle so that it
does not make contact with the kerb as the
vehicle is lowered. Your vehicle could other-
wise be damaged.
