Important safety notes
When
driving with a lowered or raised chassis,
the driving and braking characteristics may
be affected. Additionally, the maximum per-
mitted vehicle height may be exceeded when
the chassis is raised. Observe the legally per-
missible vehicle heights for the country you
are currently in.
Set the driving level before pulling away.
It is necessary to raise/lower the chassis to
pick up/set down demountable bodies or
semitrailers. If you continue a journey after
having changed the chassis height, it is nec-
essary to lower/raise the chassis to driving
level.
If the yellow ¸ indicator lamp in the instru-
ment cluster lights up, the chassis is not at
driving level. Observe the additional informa-
tion in the event window.
When loading/unloading the vehicle with the
ignition switched off, observe the information
in the "Loading and unloading the vehicle
when the ignition is switched off" section
(Y page 288)
Vehicles with 8x4/4 or 8x2/4 axle configu-
rations with air-sprung rear axle: when oper-
ating the vehicle without add-on equipment,
make sure that the chassis frame is always
fully raised. Otherwise, you could damage the
air bellows on the rear axle. Further informa-
tion on the characteristics of possible add-on
equipment can be found in the body/equip-
ment mounting directives.
Vehicles equipped with "driving level low-
ered" and/or with low profile tyres: avoid
operating the vehicle with a lowered chassis
frame. Driving with a lowered chassis frame
increases wear and tear on the vehicle and
reduces driving comfort.
