button on the multifunction steering wheel,
the message will disappear.
Once highway level has been reached, all
indicator lamps = go out. You will see a
message in the multifunction display, for
example:

road menu (Y page 220) in the on-board
computer, the message disappears after
about five seconds.

level if you are driving faster than 55 mph
(88 km/h). Depending on the ADS setting,
the vehicle is lowered to high-speed level at
speeds higher than this.

Warning!
Vehicle off-road level 3 is not intended for use
on paved roads. This vehicle level is intended
for clearing impracticable situations at low
speed exclusively. The vehicle has a very high
center of gravity in off-road level 3. This
increases the overturning hazard.
R
Select off-road level 3 exclusively for
clearing impracticable situations at low
speed.
R
Adapt your driving style to the modified
conditions.
R
Do not exceed a speed of 12 mph
(20 km/h).
R
Avoid extreme, quick steering movements.
R
Keep in mind the vehicle’s driving
characteristics are modified.
You should therefore drive in off-road level 3
with particular caution as it could otherwise
lead to an accident and/or serious injury to
you or others.
If you are driving too fast in off-road level 3,
the Reduce speed to under 12 mph
(20 Km/h) message appears in the
multifunction display. You also hear a
warning. The vehicle is lowered.
i
You cannot clear these messages.
Only select an off-road level when this is
appropriate for road conditions. Otherwise,
fuel consumption increases and handling may
be affected.
Your selection remains stored even if you
remove the key from the ignition lock.
