DISTRONIC has not yet detected the vehicle situation. This results in reduced fuel
in front on the edge of the road, because of
its narrow width. The distance to the vehicle
in front will be too short.
consumption and improved handling.
When you are driving in ADS COMF or AUTO
ADS(Y page 184), the vehicle is
automatically lowered to high-speed level as
the speed increases. As the vehicle speed
decreases, the vehicle is raised back up to
highway level.
Obstructions and stationary vehicles
In ADS SPORT(Y page 184), the vehicle
skips highway level and, depending on the
basic setting, lowers directly to high-speed
level (Y page 182).
Make changes to the vehicle level while the
vehicle is in motion. This enables the vehicle
to adjust to the new level as quickly as
possible.
The vehicle level may change visibly if you
park the vehicle and the outside temperature
changes. If the temperature drops, the
vehicle level is lower; with an increase in
temperature, the vehicle level rises.
DISTRONIC does not brake for obstructions
or stationary vehicles. If, for example, the
detected vehicle turns a corner and reveals
an obstacle or stationary vehicle, DISTRONIC
will not brake for these.
When you unlock the vehicle or open a door,
the vehicle begins to balance the load
discrepancies while still parked. However, for
significant level changes, e.g. after the
vehicle has been stationary for a long period,
the engine must be on. For safety reasons,
the vehicle is only lowered when the doors are
closed. Lowering is interrupted if a door is
opened, and it continues once the door has
been closed.
Crossing vehicles
G Warning!
Make sure that nobody is in the vicinity of the
wheel arch or the underbody when changing
the vehicle level. You could otherwise trap
yourself or others.
DISTRONIC may detect vehicles that are
crossing your lane by mistake. Activating
DISTRONIC at, for example, a traffic light with
crossing traffic, could cause your vehicle to
pull away at the wrong time.
G Warning!
Always select as low a vehicle level as
possible. If the vehicle level is high, the vehicle
center of gravity shifts upwards. This
Level control
increases the risk of the vehicle tipping over.
Important safety guidelines
Adapt your driving style to suit the vehicle
level. ESP® cannot reduce the risk of an
Level control automatically adapts the vehicle
level to the current operating and driving
