Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Vehicle Lift Mode, Activating
Procedure:
-- Turn on the ignition and activate the MMI.
-- Select the MENU function button.
-- Select >>vehicle<<.
-- Press the left control button and follow the following menu structure:
- Service & Checking
-- Select the function "Air spring: Changing wheel" with the MMI-control knob and set to "on".
Vehicle lifting mode automatically switches off again when vehicle speed exceeds 15 km/h (9.3 mph).
When the vehicle lift mode is activated for a longer time, the pressure in the suspension strut can lower and thereby also lower the vehicle level. If necessary, quickly start the engine to reactivate the vehicle lift mode.
