Vehicle level control*
The vehicle level control automatically

ț reduce fuel consumption
ț 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:
ț As your driving speed increases, the ve-
hicle is lowered by increments until it
reaches high-speed level.
ț If you are driving with the ADS setting
COMF or AUTO, the vehicle is raised
back to highway level as your driving
speed decreases.
ț You can select the high-speed level via
the ADS setting SPORT. In ADS Sport,
the vehicle is lowered directly to
high-speed level as your driving speed
increases.
The parked vehicle begins adjusting to the
set vehicle level as soon the doors and tail-
gate are
ț unlocked
or
ț opened or closed with the vehicle
unlocked
In order to operate the vehicle level control
switch (
୴ page 271), however, the engine
must be running.
i The setting is stored when you turn off the
engine.
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 all doors and the tailgate
closed. Lowering is interrupted if a door or
the tailgate is opened and will continue after
the door is closed again.
