ou could otherwise fail to recognise
dangers. AIR BODY CONTROL is an air suspension system
wit
h 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 wit

h 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
Suspension setting and vehicle level per drive pro-
gram

WARNING Risk of accident because v
ehi-
cle level is too high
Driving characteristics may be impaired.
The v
ehicle can dris outwards, for example,
when steering or cornering. 
Choose a vehicle level which is suited to
t

he driving style and the road surface
conditions. &
WARNING Risk of entr
apment from vehi-
cle lowering
When lowering the vehicle, other people could
become tr
apped if their limbs are between the

lowered. &
WARNING Risk of becoming tr
apped due
to the vehicle lowering
Vehicles with AIR BODY CONTROL or level
contr
ol 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 become
trapped.
The vehicle can also be lowered aser being
locked. 
When leaving the vehicle, make sure that
nobody is in t
he vicinity of the wheel
arches or the underbody. *
NOTE Damag
e due to vehicle lowering Parts of the body could be damaged when the
v
ehicle is lowered. 
Make sure that there are no obstacles

System limits
The reversing camera will not function or will only
partially function in the following situations:
= The boot lid is open. =
The w
eather conditions are poor, e.g. heavy
rain, snow, fog, storm or spray.
= The light conditions are poor, e.g. at night.
= Cameras, or vehicle components in which the

qF
unction of the 360° Camera
The 360° Camera is a system that consists of
four cameras which cover the immediate sur-roundings of the vehicle. The system assists you
when y

ou are parking or at exits with reduced visi-
bility, forexample.
The views of the 360° Camera are always availa-
ble when driving forwards up to a speed of
approx. 16 km/h and when reversing.
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. The responsi-
bility for safe manoeuvring and parking remains
with you. Make sure that there are no persons,
animals or objects etc., in the manoeuvring area
while manoeuvring and parking.
The system evaluates images from the following
cameras:
= Reversing camera
= Front camera
= Two side cameras in the outside mirrors Driving and parking

qF
unction of Parking Assist PARKTRONIC
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic park-
ing assistance system which monitors the area
surrounding your vehicle and shows you the dis-
tance between the vehicle and a detected obsta-
cle visually and audibly.
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is
not a substitute for your attention to the surround-
ings. The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and
parking remains with you. Make sure that there
are no persons, animals or objects in the manoeu-
vring area while manoeuvring and parking in/exit-
ing parking spaces.
The passive side impact protection also warns you
of obstacles to the side. During the parking proce-
dure or manoeuvring, objects are detected as the
vehicle drives past. If you steer in the direction of
a detected obstacle and there is a risk of a lateral
collision, a warning is issued. In order for an
object on the side to be detected, the sensors in
the front and rear bumper must Nrst detect the
object while you are driving past it. Driving and parking
