Warning!

The hill-start assist system is not designed to

function as a parking brake. It does not

prevent the vehicle from moving when parked

on an incline.

Always engage the parking brake in addition

to shifting the automatic transmission into

park position P.

On uphill grades, the hill-start assist system

maintains the pressure in the brake system

for approximately 1 second after you have

released the brake pedal. Therefore, you can

start off smoothly without the vehicle moving

immediately after releasing the brake pedal.

Shift the automatic transmission into drive

position D or reverse gear R.

Rear-axle level control

The rear-axle level control adjusts the vehicle

level for the rear axle. The rear-axle level

control is beneficial because it keeps the

vehicle level at the rear axle constant,

independent of the load.

AIRMATIC

The AIRMATIC lets you select the chassis and

suspension setup. The chassis and

suspension setup adjusts the damping

behavior and the ride height for your vehicle.

The AIRMATIC consists of two components.

The Adaptive Damping System (ADS)

(Y page 153) and the vehicle level control

(Y page 154).

Adaptive Damping System (ADS)

The

Adaptive Damping System (ADS) is

controlled electronically and operates

continuously. It adjusts the damping

characteristics to the current operating and

driving conditions. The damping is adjusted

individually for each wheel. Driving safety and

tire comfort are increased.

The fine tuning of the damping is dependent

on:

R

your driving style

R

road surface conditions

R

your personal settings

The following settings are available:
