Recovery
For recovery, the car is taken away with the
help of another vehicle.
Call a recovery service for recovery assistance.
The towing eye can be used to pull the car up
onto a recovery vehicle with a flatbed plat-
form.
IMPORTANT
Note that the car must always be transpor-
ted raised up with all the wheels on the
recovery vehicle's platform.
Applies to cars with level control*: If the car
is equipped with air suspension, this must be
disabled before the car is raised. Deactivating
the function via the centre display.

Press
Settings in the top view.
2. Press My Car Parking Brake and
Suspension
.
3.

The car's position and ground clearance deter-
mine whether it is possible to pull it up onto a
flatbed platform. If the slope of the recovery
vehicle's ramp is too steep, or if the ground
clearance under the car is inadequate, then
the car may be damaged if you try to pull it up.
The car should then be lifted using the recov-
ery vehicle's lifting device.
